If the body temperature of a female cat only rises for a short period of time after giving birth, it is considered a normal physiological reaction and does not require too much intervention. However, if the body temperature of a female cat continues to rise after giving birth, and symptoms such as decreased energy and loss of appetite occur, it may be caused by decreased immunity, incomplete discharge of postpartum lochia, fever caused by colds, etc. At this time, you need to take the cat to the pet hospital for examination as soon as possible to determine the specific cause and then provide symptomatic treatment.

1. Normal physiological reaction

Because the female cat will tense or contract during the birth process, this will cause the cat's body temperature to rise slightly. Therefore, if the body temperature of a female cat only rises for a short period of time after giving birth, it may be a normal physiological reaction. The owner does not need to worry too much. The cat will return to normal after a while.

2. Decreased immunity of the body

The resistance of female cats will be relatively reduced after giving birth. If the owner does not pay attention to providing a comfortable and clean environment for the female cat, pathogenic bacteria will invade. In the cat's body, it causes inflammation and infection in the body, causing symptoms of fever. In this regard, it is recommended to take the cat to the pet hospital in time to confirm the source of infection, and then conduct antiviral treatment according to the confirmed source of infection.

3. Postpartum lochia is not completely discharged

In some female cats, the placenta cannot be discharged in time after giving birth, and it will remain in the uterus, causing uterine inflammation and infection. If this is the case, it is recommended to take the female cat to the pet hospital for a B-ultrasound examination as soon as possible and remove the placenta in time.

4. Fever caused by catching a cold

If the owner fails to keep the cat warm after giving birth, the cat will catch a cold and cause a fever, resulting in a high body temperature. At this time, you need to consult a pet doctor in time for medication, or take the cat directly to the pet hospital for infusion treatment to prevent the cat from dehydration or even death due to persistent fever.
