Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If Bud appears to be suffering from an upper respiratory infection (nasal discharge, sneezing, eye discharge), then there is an injectable antibiotic injection (convenia) that lasts for two weeks and frequently is helpful for these infections in cats that are difficult to give oral medications to. It would require him to be seen by a veterinarian and have an accurate weight. If possible, I would have him evaluated by a veterinarian and discuss convenia as a possible treatment option. Good luck!
