Fever in Cats: Causes and Management
Fever is a reset of the hypothalamic set point that helps the immune system fight infection, whereas hyperthermia is heat overload without a set-point change. Management targets the underlying disease with fluids, antibiotics, and nutrition, using antipyretics only above 41 C because NSAIDs clear slowly and risk kidney toxicity in cats.
Fever in Dogs and Cats: Causes, Detection and How to Reduce It
Fever in dogs and cats can stem from infections or non-infectious issues like heatstroke and post-vaccine reactions. Learn how to take your pet's temperature, recognize fever signs, and safely reduce fever with cooling and vet-approved medication.
Since yesterday afternoon the chicken has kept its eyes closed, has diarrhea, breathes through its mouth, has a runny nose, and a hot comb
Chicken fever usually comes from a cold or inflammation, and bacterial disease or parasites can also cause it. Treat with fever- and pain-relieving drugs (metamizole or carbasalate calcium). Metamizole has stronger side effects and isn't for severely febrile birds (liver and kidney risk); herbal antipyretics are milder but slower.
My dog had a fever of 39.7°C with yellow nasal discharge; after three days of vet shots the fever rose to 39.9°C, though it eats, drinks, and stools normally and the thick discharge is gone—what should I do?
Recurring fever often means a persistent infection; frequent antipyretics can hinder the immune response, so try alcohol-rub physical cooling on the ears, paws, and inner thighs. Still, get a clinical work-up—PCR for distemper and a blood test for parasites.
How to medicate and treat calicivirus, herpesvirus, and mycoplasma infection
This is a mixed respiratory infection needing interferon, antibiotics, and symptom care. The viruses have no specific cure, so use interferon and antivirals; herpes eye issues need eye drops, and mycoplasma is treated with doxycycline, ideally nebulized.
