Hi Laila, I'm glad to help you! Depending on how long the virus takes to clear her system, it can be a few weeks before she is feeling better. The vet can check her over with a physical exam if she's still showing signs of a URI, and can discuss if there are any medications that may help with her symptoms. Best of luck :-)
