[Felvtalk] Fletch

[Natalie]

I think Fletch would do well to get some sub-q fluids, I believe his saliva would thin down…can you feed him lots of water with an eyedropper on the side of the mouth?  Hydration is also good for fevers.

Now Fletch has thick gooey looking saliva. He can't eat because his mouth now hurts. His fever is gone though. WhT to do. Calling vet today. Is there any treatment for this mouth issue?

Thanks

You can give baby aspirin like every other day or 72 hours or something like that for just a few days though.

It has always been my understanding that you should never give asprin to cats:
 


Aspirin Side Effects


Aspirin is not a medication that is typically administered to cats. If administered, it may cause a few side effects such as: 

*	Stomach acidity, which can lead to stomach ulcers
*	Upset stomach <http://www.vetinfo.com/best-cat-upset-stomach-remedy.html> 
*	Vomiting
*	Diarrhea
*	Blood coagulation delays
*	Lack of appetite <http://www.vetinfo.com/causes-cat-appetite-loss.html>

> Update and more questions. Yesterday Fletch ate very well and ate quite a few treats too. He got up and walked around the kitchen for quite awhile. I was so hopeful that maybe he was over the hump. Wrong. This morning he refused to eat or drink and hasn't done so all day. I hav given him some electrolytes 3 times today. He didn't like that a bit. He had very watery poop with hard chunks in it. That happened twice. Once on the couch, which I have plastic on under his blankets, and then another time I ran him to the litterbox. His fever is back..I'm sure the aspirin wore off and he doesn't feel good at all. Is this how this disease is all the time? Is this what his life is gonna be like from now on? Because if it is, I can't see making him go through this. I don't think he enjoys any part of this. Maybe he ate too much yesterday, I don't know. Do they go thru this and then get better. Any insight will be appreciated. Where does the fever come from?
