Sickly puss cat
Any experienced cat owners out there? We have a little female puss called Bramble who is 2 years old. She suddenly became unwell yesterday, rapid breathing and lethargic and we took her to the vet. She had a high temp of 40 degrees and the vet thinks that she has an infection of some kind but can't find the source (no wounds or swellings) She does hunt and eat what she catches. My concern is that she hasn't had as much as a sip of water in 2 days. The vet gave her 2 jabs yesterday, 1 to bring her temp down and a long lasting antibiotic. Should I be concerned about her not drinking? As a human nurse I understand the importance of rehydration in people who are ill but wondered about cats as I know that they can go days in the wild without eating or drinking. Thoughts? She is going back to the vet tomorrow but can I leave it until then?
