Ben developed a 105 fever over a month ago, and even though his bloodwork has come back negative to any thing bad, and the vet felt it was just a cat "bug", he continues to have problems with the heat.

A month ago he was diagnosed (with a scan and a FREE T4 test) with hyperthyroid and had tumors removed from both sides.

Instead of feeling better (blood work is normal BUT 1 week after surgery he WAS a bit low on thyroid) he is getting worse. He barely eats, did cough today, and just lies around most of the day sleeping. He will go out on leash and harness in EARLY AM and then after attempting to climb a fence or two, come in and sleep the whole day. This is when the temps are 84 OUTSIDE and 79 INSIDE!

I cannot help but worry he may have FIP/FELV/FIP? He HAS tested negative to them in the past but he also has escaped my yard and visited an old sickly looking Siamese cat in the next yard.

Do you all think he has one of the three or what? This has been going on since May 1!!!!
