Hi. My cat Trouble has an infection on her leg and it started to get better
but her temperature went really high today.

There is an appointment at the vets' tommorrow but my parents are worried
and we are wondering if there is anything we can give Trouble for her
temperature. Asperin or paracetamol for example? Of course we wouldn't risk
giving her anything unless we knew it was safe so is there anyone that can
help please?

Thank you,
David

No aspirin!!! I would give her water, and keep her cool. Cats just don't
deal with human fever meds. I would call the vet, myself. They might be able
to get you something before tomorrow or give you some advice.

DO NOT GIVE YOUR CAT ASPIRIN -- it is poisonous to cats. If you are very
concerned, take her to an emergency vet clinic tonight. -- M9
