You need to feel the grief and feelings you are feeling. While your cats can be a great comfort, you may also need to turn to friends, family and other support systems.
Fever of unknown origin can be very puzzling and frustrating, usually because of the unknown part. The simple explanation is that this is a fever we can not find a meaning for. Unfortunately, there can be many, many causes. Even in this day and age, with all the tests we can do we may not know what is causing the fever. We start with the simple tests like lab work. Often checking leukemia/aids status can be helpful, along with checking a urine sample or taking an x-ray. As time passes, more diagnostics are done and her response is noted, your veterinarian may have a better idea what is going on. Perhaps even by the time you see this, Piper’s fever will have broken. I wish you the best with this and with all you’re going through. Let us know if you have any other questions.
