It is recommended to buy a feline plague test strip to see if it is cat plague. At that time, this happened to our buns, and after taking them to the hospital for examination, they were diagnosed with cat plague. Because I was still an intern, I couldn't afford to pay so much, so I had to take it home and try it myself**.

Since I don't know how to give injections, I bought the ** of Meow Degree Stable, which is needle-like and can be fed directly, and it will start to turn negative after eating it for about five days.

1. The cat's normal body temperature is at Celsius, and the kitten may be higher than Celsius, and the body temperature exceeds this range, which can be judged as the cat's fever.

2. When encountering a cat, the owner can first wipe it on the back of the cat's ears and feet with alcohol cotton to achieve the effect of local cooling. Then take the cat to the hospital as soon as possible to see if the situation is cooled with medication.

3. If the cat has a fever, you can only take the cat to the veterinarian, and the long-term high fever indicates that there may be more serious health problems, and the veterinarian can conduct a test to determine the cause of the cat's fever. If the cat's fever is caused by a bacterial infection, the infection must be cleared. Usually, antibiotics can be used to reduce fever.

Although antibiotics are generally not a problem for cats with fever, it is still important not to use them without permission. Be sure to use it after the veterinarian has examined the cat and prescribed antibiotics.

The normal body temperature of the cat is, if the maximum body temperature of the cat is not exceeded, then it is recommended to take physical cooling methods, such as using alcohol cotton pads to scrub the cat's foot pads, groin and other parts.

If the cat's maximum body temperature is more than 1, then it needs to be taken to the pet hospital in time for fever-reducing injections, which can take effect in 4 to 6 hours after medication. However, it is still necessary to closely monitor the cat's body temperature, because there are many factors that cause cat fever, and there may be fever again after medication.

Finally, you can use an electronic thermometer to measure the temperature of your cat's groin at home, or use an ear thermometer to measure the temperature of your cat's ear canal. For the symptoms of fever in cats, you can first observe the mental state of the cat, if the cat's mental state is good, it is recommended to use oral medicine to relieve fever for three days. If the cat's fever subsides after the medication, and the cat's diet returns to normal, it means that there is no big problem.

However, if the medication does not improve or the cat still has a fever, it is recommended to take the cat to the pet hospital for examination, and it is necessary to rule out whether there is dry abdominal transmission, and the symptoms are treated according to the confirmed results.

1. Timely hydration: Fever will cause the cat's body temperature to rise, so the loss of water in the body will also become faster. If the cat does not like to drink water, you can use a tool such as drip irrigation to drip into its mouth.

2. Ice cooling: You can wet the towel with ice water and then apply it to the important parts of the cat's body to cool down. If you have alcohol at home, you can also use cotton swabs to apply it to the cat's ears, foot pads and other parts to cool down, although this is the fastest way to deal with the cat's fever, but this is not a long-term solution.

3. Send to the hospital**: After the cat has a fever, if you have the ability to send it to the hospital immediately, you will be sent to the hospital as soon as possible, procrastination will only lead to the cat's condition becoming serious, and if you can't help the cat reduce the fever, then let the professional veterinarian deal with it.
