Advise please.........Ducha ill

[Kats inc]

It will have taken a little while for the antibiotic shot to get into his system and work.Hopefully by this morning it should have kicked in and started to make him feel better.

If he is eating and not drinking can you mush some water into his food to get it in that way?

Hope you're feeling better soon Ducha

Oh Gill, i am so sorry. I cant give any advice but i do hope Ducha feels better soon .

Thinking of you and Ducha. :hug:x

Thanks Dawn, I am keeping and eye on him, very closely.

[Dawn (DiddyDawn)]

I would keep an eye on him Gill, the temp tends to go down after a few hours and like Angie said if he's eating and drinking, that's a good sign.  If there's no improvement tomorrow, I would probably get him back in again just to be on the safe side.  If he's been in a scuffle, he may have some bruising somewhere so will be feeling out of sorts with that as well.  Hope he's feeling better soon    

Just read your other post, it may be worth trying to syringe some water down him to keep his fluids up and if his temp is raging, it might be worth phoning the emergency vet and asking for advice.

Thanks Angie.

His ears felt cooler earlier on but they hot again but its the first food he has had prob since yesterday. He kept going to the food and not eating.

I am hoping he will drink cos the water is near him and he doesnt have to come downstairs but am worried about his temperature cos I can almost feel him glowing.

[Angiew]

if he's eating and drinking he must be feeling a bit better.

In reality see how he is in the morning and decide then - though its easy for me to say!

Ducha has been to the vets this afternoon cos he was realy not himself and he had a hich temperature but no visable wounds or pain.

The vet thinks he has tangled with the alien cat we have around and has a blood infection.

He had an antibiotic jab around 1545 but his ears are still hot so still has temperature but he has now eaten and drunk.

How long does it take for a temp to go down usually. He has to go back for another injection on Monday so they long acting but not convenia.

I was told I can take him back tomorrow or Sunday if I am worried, but thats only tomorrow morning or one hour on Sunday morning.
