how long does it take antibiotics to break fever in cats?

Q: Today I took my cat to the vet. The cat had a 104 fever. So the vet gave him an antibiotic shot. How long will this take to break the fever?

A: Depends whether he has a bacterial infection or not. If it isn’t bacterial this won’t work at all. Feline paratenitis or Feline leukemia can cause fever and won’t be affected by antibiotics. Generally 48-72 hours is average. It can vary greatly depending on how much antibiotics your cat is actually getting, whether they spit any out or not.

How do you break a fever on an infant?

Q: My 13 month old got a fever last night and he is burning up. His temperature is 101 degrees, but our doctor just said thats normal for a fever but if it gets any higher call him. My poor baby just seems so hot and uncomfortable, he just lays on my chest all day. Any suggestions on how to comfort him and break this fever. I’ve been giving him tylenol and try to give him bottles of water but he just wants to be breastfed.

A: As your Doctor has informed you, 101ºF is NOT an alarmingly high temperature for an infant. If you think that he’s “burning up” at 101ºF, either you have never had a child at 103º+ or you need to recheck that you are taking his temperature properly.Breastfeeding is good for him with it’s antibodies, as long as you don’t mind the frequency of it (increase YOUR fluid intake, too)!Give him a bath in tepid water (lukewarm) to help lower his body temperature. Use cool compresses at other times.Little to no clothing — an all-cotton onesie at most.You could see if you can get him to drink PediaLyte or maybe he’ll lick or suck on a PediaLyte freezer pop if you hold it and monitor him carefully so he doesn’t bite off a big chunk — or mash it up so it’s like a smoothie and spoon feed it to him.What appears to be causing the temperature? Is he stuffy? Could he be teething? Does he react as if he has any tenderness on any part of his body when you hold him or change his diaper?
