Why is my young cat not eating or moving after a fever shot?

I would recommend taking the kitten back to the veterinarian for a recheck and further testing to see what could be going on with Meow. Meow will likely need further treatment. He may be dehydrated and may need other additional treatments. I hope this helps and hope Meow gets better soon! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

Hi, has he had any blood tests ? If so, are these all fine ? If no suspect of pancreatitis or liver disease he could have some Hill’s recovery food, slightly warmed up and offer small amounts little and often. You could also offer a small amount of tuna in water or sardines or white fish. Try to encourage him to eat spontaneously, now that he has received some medications, his temperature might drop and he might feel more inclined to eat. If by this afternoon he stilll has not eaten, I would recommend to try with syringe feeding some recovery diluted with water. If he should not eat, I would still recommend that he is on a drip, at low fluid rate and he receives antibiotics intravenously. Hope it helps.

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Tiny. I'm sorry he's sick! Unfortunately I cannot recommend giving him an injection of procaine g and cannot recommend giving him an injection. It is illegal for me to do that. It's actually pretty serious for him to be off his food, and if a cat goes long enough without eating (about 72 hours), they will develop a fatty liver. A fatty liver is fatal without treatment, You need to take him into a vet now to diagnose what is going on with him and can treat him. I hope this helps!

Hi there! Thanks for using PerCoach! There are many things that can cause a cat to have a fever and these include pancreatitis, pneumonia, FIP, systemic infections, foreign body ingestion and septic peritonitis, among many others. I advise that you have Mia evaluated by your veterinarian as some of these conditions can be managed to try to get Mia to feel better. At the very least, Mia can be started on symptomatic therapy for now until your veterinarian is able to figure out what is wrong with her. Further diagnostics are likely to include bloodwork, urinalysis, thoracic radiographs and abdominal ultrasound. Good luck! Hoping for a speedy recovery!

I understand you are concerned about FIP. The reality is, if you don't have money for a veterinary visit (and in many cases even if you did), FIP is typically fatal and untreatable. The best thing you can do is separate your sick cat from your healthy one and see how things transpire over the course of the next few days. Typically, cats with FIP, regardless of the form, will be inappetant and not wanting to eat anything at all. The worst form of it will cause massive fluid buiid up in the chest / abdomen and result in difficulty breathing. The other form typically produce clinical signs that are both ophthalmic and/or neurologic, plus several other non specific clinical signs (a couple of which include what you are descrbing). Overall, FIP would not be near the top of my list. I would definitely make sure all three cats have been tested for leukemia and AIDS however in order to rule both of these life-threatening conditions. While not as rapidly fatal as FIP, both conditions can carry poor long term prognosis. It sounds like the one cat with a fever and swollen belly might benefit from pain management and a recheck for the presence of worms. While dietary indiscretion could be an issue, it is not likely to cause a fever unless an infectious organism was present in the food. Hope this is more helpful than my previous response.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Chimpu! Sadly I can't give you a prognosis with out a diagnosis and we can't do that over the internet. Chimpu needs to see a Vet for an exam, blood work and X-rays. Cats shouldn't go longer than 2 days with out eating as that can cause a secondary serious liver problem (fatty liver syndrome). Causes of a fever in cats are: viral or bacterial infections, feline infectious peritonitis, feline leukemia, pancreatitis, blockage from a foreign body and cancer. I do think this is serious since it has been 4 days. He should be hospitalized if possible until we find out the cause of his fever. I am not in full agreement that he won't survive, but I am worried he won't with out intervention. I wish you and Chimpu the best!

What you describe could be feline distemper. It could be feline infectious peritonitis (the dry form) or another viral infection. Whatever ever is is, Butternut needs to see a veterinarian as soon as possible. Keep Buttermilk as comfortable as possible, leave plenty of fresh water available, offer canned food or even boiled chicken breast. Good luck.
