My kitten is recovering from fever. Why isn't she active or playful?

Question

Hello, my 12 week old kitten started Clavamox on friday because she had a fever of 106 and was very lethargic and not eating or drinking. i have done everything the vet recommended and she seems better. she is eating and drinking more. however i feel like she is not as actove and playful as a kitten should be. is this normal, is she still recovering. Her temp was back to normal on sunday by the way. Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Female | spayed | 3 months and 1 day old | 2.9 lbs

I'm sorry Bernadette was sick! It sounds like she's doing much better, but I would expect her to take a few days to be 100% back to normal. A fever that high can take a lot out of them. If she's still on antibiotics it can cause some stomach upset as well, which may be affecting her (don't stop the antibiotics without talking to your vet, though). I hope she's back to normal soon!
