Male cat on UTI meds, sick & lethargic. Should I take him back?

Question

Male cat was put on oral antibiotic for uti last night after providing urine sample. He had his first dose & a few hrs later started trying to go pee over and over & threw up a small amount. This morning we found he had peed in 2 spots on a blanket we left out for him. He had his second dose of the anitbiotic this morning & a little food. He seems lethargic and threw up a little bit. Is it normal to see him looking very tired/rough..is that from the antibiotic? Should we be taking him back in? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | neutered | 10 years and 11 months old | 10 lbs

Poor Teddy! Yes, I would recommend to take Teddy back in today. Male cats always have a concern for a urinary blockage which is an emergency. It’s a good idea just to have his bladder palpated to check for such a condition. The doctor may also change the antibiotic or may give him medication to soothe the stomach. I hope Teddy starts feeling better quickly! Please feel free to post any additional questions!
