My cat missed 3 days of UTI antibiotics. What should I do next?

Question

If a cat is on antibiotics for a UTI and missed three days worth, should I try to force the antibiotics into him? Pet's info: Cat | Exotic Shorthair | Male | 14 years old | 15 lbs

Missing does means that the antibiotics may not work correctly, and the UTI won't fully clear up. I would start Scotch's antibiotics again, and contact your vet in the morning to let them know you missed three days, as they may want to prescribe a longer course to clear up the infection.
