Poor guy. I am so sorry Bogos is still not doing well after receiving antibiotics for his cough. It sounds like the next best step here is to get some x-rays done on him or potentially try another type of antibiotic. Sometimes infections can be resistant to antibiotics, requiring cultures to specifically find what antibiotic will get rid of the bug. Hopefully this is just a resistant infection that will respond to something else. Other potential causes for coughing in cats are: primary lung disease, parasites, or even a fungal lung infection. I hope that things work out well for your pet Bogos. Schedule an appt soon with your vet and they will go from there. Take care.
