Allie was back at the vet today with 105 fever- came down to 102.5 with Metacam (kitty NSAID) and sq fluids.  I did get the vet to show me how to give the sq fluids, so I can administer them now if she stops eating and drinking and looks dehydrated, or if her temp goes up (I've been monitoring her temp daily).  They were also thinking of giving me some Metacam to administer at home, but decided to hold off on that.  This is her 3rd temp spike in 2 weeks.  The vet was prepping me for the fact that at some point Allie's body is not going to be able to tolerate these temps anymore and is not going to fight them off even with treatments because the fevers are causing such a stress on her system.  Of course we don't know if that will be a week or a month, but it looks like it may be sooner than I thought.  It's so hard because 2 days ago she was totally back to herself- eating great, playing, and she even sleep with us!  I guess the calm before the storm...  Keep her in your thoughts.  I don't want her to suffer, but I'm not ready to say good-bye yet either!  I'm still hoping she can beat these fevers, but that's not looking realistic anymore and I don't want to torture her...
