Unfortunately, it appears that his infection was not completely cleared when the antibiotics finished. This happens sometimes, where the infection requires a longer than normal treatment period. I recommend having Smokey rechecked by your veterinarian, so they can further evaluate his condition and give another treatment plan. I hope that helps and Smokey gets better soon.
