jake not well today

mandyb · 16-01-2010, 06:40 PM

Hello,
Had to take jake to the vets this morning he has been off his food for two days and just sleeping which isn't like him at all. When we got him there he had a temperature of 104. They gave him 2 injections and some tablets. They dont really seem to know whats wrong have got to take him back monday. But in the last hour or so ive felt his ears and they seem cold now which i think may be a good sign that his temperature is coming down. But hes still not had anything to eat. Just hope hes a bit better tomorrow. Anyone know what may be wrong thanks Mandy.

Very difficult to say Mandy. Have you noticed if his urine and poo look normal or does he go outside? You say he's off his food, but has he been drinking normally? Do his eyes look OK? It's difficult not to worry but it's probably best just to keep an eye on him until he goes back to the vet on Monday. Do hope he picks up very soon.

Hes eyes look fine and hes not been outside to the loo so wouldn't know about that and hes not been drinking. But the vet gave us a syringe and told us if hes not had anything to drink by tomorrow we need to try and get some water down him whitch I will do. Thank you I just hope he will be better by tomorrow. Mandy

sorry to hear Jake isn't feeling very well, hopefuly his temp has come down and he's maybe feeling a bit better. Have you looked in his mouth in case its a tooth infection. Our cat Tom recently became unwell and it was an infected tooth.
Have you tried him with Whiskas cat milk ?
It's such a worry when they wont eat or drink

The vet checked his mouth no problems there she told us not to give him milk just water. Just letting him sleep now will start his tablets tomorrow. Hope he will feel better soon. Mandy

Got up this morning Jake still not eating and doesn't seem any better. Starting to get a bit worried now.

He is probably dehydrated Mandy. Try and get some water into him.

I will do thank you

sorry to hear Jake is no better. Like angie says he probably needs water, i hope you manage to get some down him.It's easier said than done and makes you feel cruel. Have yo managed to get his tablets down?

Yes got his tablets down him. The vet gave me a syringe to give him water. Does anyone know how much I need to get down him?
