Hope he's feeling better soon, and that you manage to get meds into him!

Ok managed to take him to the vets today and he has a temperature of 102.6 and snuffly signs. Limited exam as he was growling and hissing but got metacam and noroclav so sure he will be fine. Now to master getting the tablets down him.

Couldn't catch him this morning to take him :-(

I am going to keep him in all night so i can get him in the morning as he really does need to go tomorrow.

Just seen this thread now.

I would advise taking him to be seen. Like Frog and Cat mad says it could be something like a cat bite abscess if he goes out. I definitely think he needs treatment.

With regards to travelling. Maybe try using Feliway spray in his carrier next time you take him somewhere. Have seen this used with great success

does he have a fever? sometimes the third eyelid comes up with high fevers and over heating.

If i were you i'd get him checked out. If he limps on the leg then he's obv uncomfortable with it. Hope he's ok.

TBH I would get him checked out, could be something as simple as a CBA (if he goes out./comes into contact with other cats) but could be something more
