Fever Kitty




Pete threw up on Thursday and basically was sleeping ever since.  Overnight last night he was very cold, and I was holding him.   This morning, he was lethargic and was very hot.
Took him to the vet. where they kept him all day for IV fluids & meds to try to reduce a 'dangerously high' fever.  
His blood tests and urinalysis all came back as 'okay' - within normal levels, only his temperature is high.  The vet did an X-ray, too, and it seems normal upon a preliminary look, too.  More blood was drawn for further tests and the X-rays were sent via email to a specialist.  The vet is baffled by the fever, but it was still very high with spikes throughout the day, so the decision was made to keep him overnight so that he can remain on IV fluids & meds, and have his temperature monitored.  Hopefully by morning, there will be a stabilization of his temperature in the normal range.
Thanks to everyone on facebook & the CB's support, sending love, thoughts, purrs, and prayers - it means the world to me & Eyad and the rest of The Purries.  I must say it's strange here tonight not having our Tuxie Boy with us.  
Sending love to our Peter,
NTM

  22. I hope Peter Pete feels better soon. Did the v-e-t look really hard at the x-ray for an obstruction? That's what I had years and years ago and it was hard to see on the x-ray. I ated plastic. It was delicious but not worth having it cut out of me :(
