My poor baby (hes 7) had to go to the vet on Monday for what was determined to be URI. She gave him a steroid shot, antibiotic, and some lysine gel. By Tuesday his condition seemed worse so back he went and she also found he had a bladder infection.  She kept him overnight and we picked him up today.  He has been on medicine since Monday and he doesn't seem a lot better. He is sneezing constantly, runny nose, and still opens his mouth periodically and has some heavy breathing. Does anyone know when he will be feeling better? I hate to see him feel so sickly :(

Sorry your kitty is sick. If you are concerned that he doesn't seem to be doing better, I would definitely call your vet to discuss it. My experience is that antibiotics usually start showing effect pretty quickly if it's the right one. He may need a different antibiotic or just more time for this one to work. Your vet should know best.
