My kitten is sneezing again after antibiotics. Should I see the vet?

Question

My recently gave my kitten antibiotics for 10 days as prescribed to treat a sinus infection. She seemd fine after the treatment. Now it is about a week latter and she is starting to sneeze again. Should I have her seen again by the vet? I think I also still have a little of the antibiotics left I could try.

Hello! It sounds like Tessa may have an underlying herpes virus infection, this allows upper respiratory infections to attack more easily. Herpes is common in cats and not a huge issue, other than occasional infections like you describe. I would ask you vet about some cat lysine to boost her immune system and do another course of antibiotics...but I would have her seen just in case she needs as stronger antibiotic. I hope that helps!
