Hello! I'm sorry to hear that your kitten isn't feeling well. A fever and loss of appetite can be signs of several different issues in kittens, ranging from mild to more serious. Some common causes include viral or bacterial infections, parasites, or even stress from changes in their environment.
At home, ensure your kitten stays hydrated, as fevers can lead to dehydration. You might try offering them a bit of warm, canned cat food to stimulate their appetite; sometimes the smell can be enticing. Make sure they have a comfortable and quiet spot to rest. If your kitten seems willing, gently wipe them with a damp cloth to help soothe them and keep them clean.
Keep an eye on their energy levels, any changes in their bathroom habits, and watch for symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea, or labored breathing, as these require more urgent care. Also, continue monitoring their temperature. Anything above 102.5°F (39.2°C) is considered a fever in cats.
If your kitten's condition doesn’t improve, or if their symptoms worsen, it’s important to consult a veterinarian as soon as possible. I'd recommend booking a video consult with Dial A Vet so we can assess your sweet kitten more closely and advise you on the best next steps for their 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
