High Fever Of Unknown Origin


Recommended Posts

Wendy is currently at the EV hooked up to IVs. She spiked a fever of over 106. So far, tests are all within normal parameters with a very slightly elevated white cell count. Blood work will go out to get a diagnosis. Praying she can come home today with antibiotics on board. She can't take Nsaids so the fever needs to come down with the IV fluids. Please pray for my old lady.

Thank you for your prayers. Wendy's temperature has gone to from 106 to 103. She's on IV fluids and antibiotics and will be staying at the vets for a few days.

The power of prayer, especially GT prayer, is amazing! Wendy is better still today. Her temperature at 102.1. Still on IV fluids and antibiotics, of course. They've put some cooling fans in front of her kennel - my girl does run hot even on a good day! She is urinating (yay for pee!) and just looks all around perkier. They're going to offer her a meatball sized glop of food at 1:00 p.m. I can just imagine her turning up her needle nose at that! Please keep the prayer chain going till my girl comes home and thank you all from the bottom of my heart!

So happy for you!

 

We just went through this with not a good outcome, so I know how scary it can be. Sending all our good thoughts for Wendy and your family. :hope

great to hear she is still improving! do they have any ideas of a cause?

 

:candle

Thank you! The scary thing is the not knowing what the cause is. All her labs are normal and they did every test known to mankind that could be done in the clinic's lab . The vet ordered a test for fever of unknown origin but it has to go out to a lab and takes a couple of days to get the results. There is a canine influenza outbreak here in Miami, but Wendy's symptoms don't correspond to that, Bordatella or tick-borne diseases. <Sigh>

So happy for you!

Thank you! I'm so very sorry that you went through something similar. You lost your Grey? How horrible! Would you mind sharing what the diagnosis was, in your case?

Last night's status update gave me nightmares; temp. at 103.1, weak and wobbly when walked. &%$@!!! This morning, however, better news; temp. normal at 101.2 HURRAY!, walking normally and just looking all-around better. My old lady is still not over the hump, so please, please keep the prayers coming! And, thank you all.

I sure hope Wendy gets all better! My Sir Elton had a pouch under his chin that turned out (when he spiked to 106) to be a blocked salivary gland. I wonder if she has a blocked something. It sounds like she's trending in the positive direction so fingers crossed.
