That is awesome news! I am so glad your kitty is feeling better. Just remember to finish the antibiotics for the duration of time that your vet prescribed them to ensure he doesn’t rebound and get sick again. Also always give the antibiotics with food and report any adverse reactions (vomiting, diarrhea, lack of appetite, lethargy, etc) to your vet rigth away if seen. Hopefully everything goes well from here on out. Best of luck to you moving forward and thanks so much for the update. Take care!
