I'm so sorry your cat is so sick! It's a good sign that he was perky yesterday and ate more. That's progress, and if he keeps showing signs of improvement, I would keep treatment going. Now if he stops eating, because very lethargic, or gets sicker, then letting him go would be best. I hope this helps!
