5/16/97 Q: I have a kitten on hold at the Humane Society. It had a fever of 105 and a runny nose. It is on antibiotics and getting better. They said it probably has an upper respiratory infection. Does this sound right? Should I still get the kitten? Thanks.
A: Yes, it could possibly be just an upper respiratory infection. How long has the kitten been sick and running this high of a temperature? Is the kitten responding to antibiotics? The decision of whether or not to take the kiten is one you will have to make. There is always a financial and emotional risk when taking on a sick kitten. Good luck!
