Cat peeing less after antibiotics: Can I give him Pedialyte?

Question

My cat has been battling a double middle ear infection and has been on antibiotics for 5 weeks now. He is eating wet food and drinking. However, I have noticed he is peeing once a day (it has been 2x). I am wondering if it is alright to give him unflavored Pedialyte and how I should administer it? If I get home tonight and I do not have any pee, I may have to bring him in (since it will be since noon Wed). If he did pee, I would like to still hydrate him a little! Any advice would be great.

You can mix the unflavored PediaLyte in equal amounts in his water bowl or mix it into his food. Make sure he isn't urinating anywhere outside his litterbox. Monitor for lethargy, loss of appetite or vomiting. Keep an eye out for straining to urinate and frequent visits to the litterbox. If the bear infections do not resolve, consider.
