My cat has fever, mouth mucus, and is lethargic. Treat at home?

Porfirio looks pretty sick. The lesions on his mouth may be infected ulcers from a virus, allergic reaction or dental disease. The eyes being swollen could also be related to a virus or significant inflammation in the area. I recommend to have him seen by his veterinarian today if possible as I be he is in discomfort- think about when your sinuses have a lot of pressure. He will likely get treatment for a bacterial infection and possible viral as well. I hope this points you in the right direction. Please post again with any further questions.

I'm sorry Louie is sick! The drooling could be due to nausea or pain, and when cats are sick, they typically become lethargic. Unfortunately his symptoms are quite general and could be caused by a number of different things such as a systemic illness, infection, inflammation, or an injury. The only way to know for sure what is causing them is to have him seen by a vet, and I'd recommend taking him in first thing in the morning so he can be examined, diagnosed, and treated. Best of luck.

What a gorgeous cat! I am sorry he is not feeling well. Licking his lips is a sign of nausea. Even though he may not be vomiting today he is showing signs that he is still not feeling well. If he is eating (even small amounts) and drinking water as well as interacting with you, urinating, and defecating than he may be able to wait until Wednesday. However, if Michaleto's breathing continues to be abnormal at all to you this may be a sign that he is in pain or has some sort of disease of his heart or lungs. Any abnormal breathing - whether fast or hard - should be seen as soon as possible by a veterinarian. I hope he is feeling better soon.

Based upon the lack of response to treatment, it’s likely Kuskus has an internal disease like renal disease or hyperthyroidism but many many conditions will cause these clinical signs. Dental disease is also possible. At this point, he needs to be examined by the veterinarian and needs bloodwork to check his organ enzyme levels. Have him examined today before he gets worse. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Poor kitty! If you were noticing a sensitivity with his mouth, that could indicate a tooth infection, a foreign body stuck in the gums or jaw pain in general. I recommend to try to get him seen today if possible by his veterinarian. It is very important to address bad teeth as they can lead to bone loss and other forms of permanent damage. Offer him kibble that has been soaked in warm water or canned food as the softer food will be easier to eat until his issue is resolved. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Fever in cats usually indicates there is an infection present. Cats also can get fever from a flea parasite called Mycoplasma, which is treated with an antibiotic. There isn't anything you can do for either of these scenarios at home unfortunately. A vet visit is required to treat for these and hopefully get Snow back to normal. I would ask friends and family if they can assist you with getting Snow to the vet for further care. Here is also a website link with financial assistance if this is the reason why a vet visit isn't feasible for you. Best wishes and take care. http://m.humanesociety.org/animals/resources/tips/trouble_affording_veterinary_care.html Carecredit.com

This is a classic presentation of a cat with an infection, but it appears to be non-specific right now, so there could be many possibilities. They usually do have a fever early in the infection and will feel bad. They also tend to avoid eating and drinking. Not drinking is more concerning than not eating, because they can quickly get dehydrated if not drinking enough water. In order to promote water intake, you can add water to his normal food and possibly add pedialyte to his water. It's best if you can get Monkey to a vet within the next day or two. The fact that he is lethargic and not drinking could indicate a severe disease. The vet would be able to help narrow-down the cause of this and prescribe the necessary treatment to make him feel better and keep the infection from getting worse. I hope this helps and Monkey feels better soon.
