Updating after we saw the vet this afternoon. Christie had a fever of 104, which is 40 Celsius. It confuses me because she's been on antibiotics for 5 days, but the vet says it's because of the same disease. Her body's still fighting it, and we're supposed to wait for at least a week before the fever goes down. She says the ehrlichia cells stay in the spleen, and it's possible that after she eats, she gets some inflammation of the spleen which can cause the shivering. She's on Himpyrin now to help her with the fever until the antibiotics can do their thing, since it's a very serious disease.

Fingers crossed for you ...hope she is feelling better soon.. bless her
