We noticed she had been a little more to herself today but this evening while I was being lazy on the couch she came to lay on my tummy and I noticed her little body was warm. So we take her temp and it was 103.9. It has since came down to 103. She is shaking, which I know is a sign of pain in these little babies and is kind of lethargic but has no other signs. Her bowel sounds sound normal and her pulse is good. She was treated for roundworms about 10 days ago but those are gone so I am so puzzled as to what is going on. Any ideas?

I am sure I will be up all night checking on her until I can call the vet. We had some issues with Lulu in June (we almost lost her) that I didn't post about so I know how I am when my furbutts are sick. I feel so bad for her...wish she could talk!!

If you think she is sick and she has a fever I would find an emergency hosp tonight as these little ones can go down hill very fast.

Any word? Effects from the worm medication? Fever has to indicate something is going on. Best of luck.
