The cat has a fever due to weather change or excessive temperature difference. What are some ways to cool cats?

The cat has a fever due to weather change or excessive temperature difference. You can't tell whether a cat has a fever just by touching it. You need to check your temperature. Prepare a thermometer, lubricant, paper towel, and take the cat's temperature. It is more accurate to measure anal temperature. Put the thermometer coated with lubricant into the cat's anus, as gently as possible, so as not to hurt the cat, and then take it out for temperature measurement later.

If you are afraid to test your cat's temperature, you can also use skin temperature. You can clamp the thermometer on the cat's hind leg and keep it for a few minutes to measure the temperature. However, the skin temperature will be slightly lower than the temperature, so it is suggested that it is more accurate to add about 0.5℃ to this temperature. If the cat has a serious fever, it is recommended that the shovel officer send a doctor for treatment in time. For low-grade fever, some measures can be taken to help cats cool down. Put your cat in a quiet and cool place and wipe it with a wet towel to cool it down.

Make sure it's eating. Fever consumes a lot of energy and makes cats very weak. Your cat may not be able to eat hard food. You can supplement its appetite by providing soft food. Soft scrambled eggs or canned tuna are good choices. Take your cat to the vet. If the cat looks fine but has a persistent fever, take it to the vet after 24 hours. If it looks pale and feverish, don't wait so long. A persistent high fever may mean more serious health problems.

Veterinarians can determine the cause of a cat's fever through tests. Then insert something about 2.5 cm into the cat and wait two minutes before taking it out. Cats with a fever of more than 24 hours or a fever of more than 39.5 need to see a veterinarian. After taking the temperature, you can gently press its body with your fingers. See if you can feel any injuries, such as fractures, swollen lymph nodes, abscesses, wound infections or tumors. Any of these conditions may cause a fever. Also make sure that your cat is fed afterwards, because a fever will consume energy and make your cat weak.
