Good on you for taking Zero into the vet when you noticed the symptoms he was having! It will take a couple of days for him to return to normal after having a UTI, and that would be why you notice him still in some discomfort. It's good that his urine appears to be back to normal, which does suggest the medication is working. He should continue to improve as you give the medication, and be very sure to give it as prescribed. If you notice that the blood returns to his urine and/or he continues to appear painful over the next three to four days, then I would take him back into the vet. Good luck, I hope this helps!
