Cancer usually doesn't cause the fever...what does the bloodwork show?

Both blood work tests are normal. His fever is now 103.1, I got more tetrecycline but vet says it maybe internal as my other persain did not catch it. I am feed ing him 3 times a day 20cc's each feeding a/d science diet. What else can I do?
