I would first verify the cat has a fever - normal body temperature for a cat is 100.5 to 102 degrees F, slightly higher than a human's normal body temperature. If your cat does have a fever, you should keep a very close eye on it to make sure it continues to eat, drink and use the litter box (both urinating and defecating). If any one of those four processes stops, or your cat becomes lethargic and doesn't want to interact with you like it normally does, you need to take your cat to a veterinarian.
Whatever happens, do NOT give your cat human fever reducers (Tylenol, Advil, aspirin, acetominophen, ibuprofen, Aleve, Motrin, etc.) - these are extremely toxic to cats and one pill can be fatal.
In the immediate term, ensure that he or she has plenty of water to drink and that they cannot overheat- make sure they aren't wrapped up in blankets or snuggled under cushions, etc. Call your vet as soon as possible for advice and an appointment- causes can be many & varied, from cat 'flu through to an infected wound.
The best option to do here is to visit your local vet and ask them if your cat is okay.
Cats will not eat if their temperature rises above 105 degrees. A trip to the vet is mandatory.

No. They bring down fever but they interfere with immune system.
A cold shower will help to bring down a fever.
As when we have fever our body temperature is high, a sponge bath with cold water helps bring the temperature down.
These go for the snout and most times it works. When it doesn't the dog is down.
When I worked as a nurse in Pediatrics we used Ibuprofen for fevers. It would bring them down in a hurry.More detail:The only way antibiotics would help reduce a fever is to fight the infection causing the fever - but only if it's an infection causing it. But the NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflamatory drugs), such as Ibuprofen, aspirin, etc., bring fever down by dilating the blood vessels, helping to release the heat.

Any dog that you have in your kennel that isn't retired.
The dog has a fever for a reason, I'm assuming you have taken their temperature, a high fever is very serious, please see the vet NOW
The dog's name is Lizz. She is a brave and loyal canine companion who helped Dick Tracy bring down the villain Pear Shape in the comic strip.
A dog's normal body temperature is much warmer then that of a human. A dog is considered having a fever when his core body temperature is above 103 degree. A dog with a true fever needs medical treatment immediately as this is a serious condition in a dog.
NO. Try asking the Vet you have an appointment with if these are safe or if there are any ways of reducing the temperature.
