Hello! I’m sorry to hear your kitty isn't feeling well. When a cat has a fever, it usually indicates that their body is fighting an infection or another health issue. The lack of appetite and thirst can sometimes be a result of this underlying illness.
Cats can develop fevers for several reasons, including viral or bacterial infections, such as an upper respiratory infection, or inflammations like pancreatitis. Stress, toxins, and even conditions like hyperthyroidism can also play a role.
At home, make sure your cat is resting in a quiet, comfortable area. Encourage fluid intake by offering fresh water often, or try giving them a bit of unsalted chicken broth. If they're not interested in their regular food, warming it slightly might make it more appealing.
Keep an eye out for other serious symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, difficulty breathing, or if they are extremely lethargic. These could be signs that their condition is worsening.
Because fever and a lack of appetite can be concerning, it's important to address these symptoms promptly. I recommend scheduling a video consultation with one of our veterinarians here at Dial A Vet. They'll help you determine the best course of action for your furry friend. Take care!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
