How do you bring down a fever in a dog?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

Have a Cold towel bath, don't let the water drip the towel but should be cold at the same time don't leave the towel over the body,,, you should use similar to the hand massage.
