Guest LindsaySF Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Teagan kept spiking fevers during his wound healing. At times I was taking his temp every hour. Keep doing the cool compresses. You can also get a spray bottle and mist his tummy, chest, and paws. Alcohol applied to the paws helps cool them as it evaporates. Also put a fan on him after you wet him down, it helps with evaporation and cooling. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryJane Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Do the cold compresses. Dunking him in water might be too much of a shock to the system unless the temp is really high and the cold compresses are not helping. When my Onyx ran high fevers after his amp, the vet used alcohol on his pads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
