So I just got back from the vet with Little Ricky

He just had to go in to get his booster shot. The Vet took his temperature first after he weighed him( he gained a pound) and his temperature was high. I said he had been running around a lot at home before we came in( vet is right down the street 2 minutes away) so we let him relax a little for 15 minutes before he took it again. It was still high 103.4 both orally and rectally. He asked if he has been coughing or sneezing. No to both. He eats real good, drinks enough water,poop is fine AND plays and runs around like a lunatic. He gave him an antibiotic shot ( I didn't want to deal with pills or liquid in a syringe too soon after Panda and sad memories still). And I need to bring him back in a week. If I notice any coughing or sneezing or any changes at all bring him back immediately

He said it could be an airborne virus? Could I be bringing something home from the shelter. I am so careful. Take my clothes and shoes off in garage and immediately get in shower. Neither cat is touched till I am squeaky clean.

Any ideas what this could be? Now I have to watch Tuxie too ( not that I don't already) cause he could have given it to her. She is almost 11 and in good health thank god.

Anybody else have this ever happen. High temperature, but no symptoms?
