Brief Answer:
Suggestions on fever

Detailed Answer:
Sporadic fever spikes like this is common during convalescence.

If she's active when fever touches baseline and if her appetite is good...this means she's on recovery path.

But if fever lasts more than 101 even after 7 days, I would recommend reinvesting please.
