I took butterscotch to the vet today. He as fever of 103°.. he gave probeta-N to be used as nasal and eye drops. And antibiotic tablets. I'm just so worried. He's eating and drinking as normal. Will he recover? :(

Poor Butterscotch! 103F is certainly a fever, but it's not excessively high. It's also good that he is eating and drinking as normal. I certainly hope that he will recover, and take faith in the fact that he is eating and drinking. If he was extremely ill, he would not be eating or drinking at all. Give him his medications as prescribed by the vet, and continue to monitor him. Hopefully, he feels better soon :-)
