Well.....I got him in to see the operations director who is also a vet tech. This shelter doesn't have a full time vet on staff. He is running a fever....normal is about 100 and he was just under 105. Not brain frying hot, but definitely not feeling good hot.
They gave him some fluids and antibiotics. The vet is in tomorrow (surgeries). I will drop them off in the am - Troy will still be neutered - and Trevor will get checked over then. The op director suspects an infection but we can't tell if it is bacterial or viral or what right now. It snuck up pretty quick and he isn't snotty or anything. Kirsten said his gums are still pink and he put up a fight when she tried to give him the fluids, so that is good too.
He didn't eat anything when mom brought him home, but he walked around a bit and didn't go back into hiding - so we are taking that as a good sign. We will know more tomorrow. Thanks for the good wishes and keep purrin!!!
