Once your kitty gets past this nasty upper resp. it might be worthwhile to look into a lysine supplement if he isn't on it already. It helps to boost the immune system, you can get in powder or chew treats through your vet. We have a clinic cat that has herpes and we keep her issues under control with lysine. The Rx Vitamins company also makes an immuno support supplement. Any vet can order these products through vet purchasing. If you can help support his immune system you may have less flare ups Smiley Here's some links.

I've used Lysine with my pug, Tank, for his Pigmented Viral Plaques.

Thanks!  I will look into that.  We had a recheck this morning. I discontinued the antibiotics yesterday and this morning he was up, eating his dry food as normal.  He is still sneezing a bit so the vet gave me an herbal supplement to help sooth his throat.  He was coughing/choking a bit when he swallowed.  But hopefully he is on the mend.  Smiley
