My cat is sick, lethargic, not eating after vet. What should I do?

Question

My cat has been lethargic & he doesn’t really want to eat or drink. He closes or squints his eyes. He has not been moving around too much. I took him to the vet earlier today around 2:30 pm. Our vet gave him fluids and antibiotics. He had no fever and the vet thinks it might be viral. He’s still not himself & I’m worried. He managed to eat a little of his Friskies & a few Temptations treats. He has remained just as sick as when I took him to the vet. He’s only four this came on suddenly. Pet's info: Cat | Sphynx | Male | neutered | 9 lbs

Poor Uncle Fester. Thanks for more information on it. If you are really worried about it, and I understand why you are, there's no harm in taking him into an ER vet. He may need intensive care. I recommend doing that now.
