Erin - I've started a new thread here as I thought people might miss it in the daily.

How is he? What did the vet say?

Erin · 22-04-2007, 11:04 AM

thanks smudgley,
jerrys a poorly boy

he has a temperature the vet said it was quite high for a cat 43.5,he thinks jerry may have an infection somewhere,my poor boy has had 2 injections and we have a course of anti-inflammatories and antibiotics,it going to be fun trying to get him to take 3 tablets a day when we struggle with him with 1 worming tablet

he has to go back tomorrow to have his temperature checked again,my poor baby,hes sleeping on the floor bless him,he wont settle on the bed

smudgley · 22-04-2007, 11:08 AM

Oh no.
Erin that can't be right. Are you sure the vet said 43.5?

Erin · 22-04-2007, 11:11 AM

Poor Jerry, that is a high temperature

I hope the meds start working on him soon, Erin ....... if he is feeling really rough you may be able to get the tablets down him without too much of a battle

I think you must have got mixed up Erin.
There's no way his temp could be that high.
He'll be fine now he's got some medication.
