I completely understand why you're worried. When a kitten has a fever of unknown origin, it can feel very frustrating and concerning. A fever is usually the body's way of fighting off an infection or inflammation. In cats, this could be due to a viral, bacterial, or even fungal infection. Sometimes, other causes like an immune-mediated disease or even stress can trigger a fever.
At home, make sure your kitten is comfortable and has a quiet place to rest. Ensure she has plenty of fresh water available since it's important to stay hydrated, especially when having a fever. You might try using a damp cloth to gently wipe her fur, which can help her cool down a little bit.
Keep an eye out for any changes in behavior, appetite, or energy levels. If she refuses to eat or drink, becomes lethargic or you notice any new symptoms like vomiting or diarrhea, it's time to take a more serious approach.
It’s understandable to feel uneasy with uncertainty, but connecting with a vet for a video consult can help provide some direction and peace of mind. Here at Dial A Vet, we're here to help and can work with you to figure out the best next steps for your kitten.

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
