How often to check my cat's temperature after mastectomy at night?

I am sorry to hear about your concern for Linus. We would not expect a fever after surgery, so if you think he has a fever I would recommend an examination at a veterinarian as soon as possible. You can follow the following directions to take his temperature at home: https://www.petcoach.co/article/how-to-take-your-pet-s-temperature-in-7-easy-steps/ Normal cat temperature in a cat can range from 100 to 102.5, so if his temperature is above 102.5 I would contact his vet!

Cece may be crying because she doesn't like being locked in the bathroom alone. You can try a cool damp cloth on her head and back to see if that helps with the fever. Do not wet her with cold water, that will stress her out. Best of luck.

I hope Whisper is doing ok! I’d check on her every 4-6 hours if she is acting normally. If you see vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia, lethargy, or excessive discharge from her incision site, take her into a vet immediately. Best of luck.

A normal temperature in a cat will range between 100 and 102.5, so a temperature of 103 in a stressed kitty could potentially be a result of stress/excitement and not something we would normally be excessively concerned about. If your kitty seems to be normal at home then I would wait for news from your vet tomorrow and continue to monitor her and if she shows any changes in her behavior contact your vet earlier.

It depends on how high Al's fever is at the moment. A cat's normal temperature is between 101-102.5F. Take his temperature rectally, and if it's above 103F, he will need to see a vet immediately. Should it be normal or between 102.5-103F, then he can wait until the morning to see the vet.

That is definitely concerning and it's good that she can go to the vet on Friday. I'd recommend calling now to schedule the appointment rather than waiting until you're paid. As long as she's breathing normal, eating, and moving around it's not an emergency, but going in as soon as you're able to would be wise. As far as the fever, there isn't much value of doing this at home since you're already going to take her to the vet as soon as you can. Taking her temp under her arm pit and adding two degrees can give you an approximate temperature, but really won't help you with much. If she's feeling really crappy, that's more helpful information (the crappier she feels, the more worried I am about her getting to the vet soon). It's really impossible to tell if it's cancer or an infection. I would be concerned about cancer at her age, but cats can get large lymph nodes for other reasons just like humans. At the vet, they will do a general exam and also sample the masses to try to get a better idea of what's going on.

I am sorry to hear that Meaw isn’t feeling well. A normal temperature for a cat is around 100-102 F. A fever could absolutely make her lethargic. If this has been going on for more than one day then I would encourage you to have her evaluated by your veterinarian as soon as possible. Blood work and possibly an x-ray may be recommended to help determine the diagnosis and best treatment plan. Best of luck and I hope she improves soon. Thank you for using Pet Coach.
