Symptoms of an infection in your cat can differ based on cause and location of the infection. Some symptoms can be sneezing, cough, fever, depression, decrease in appetite, hiding, and neglecting grooming.

Antibiotics for pets require a prescription from your veterinarian.

Your veterinarian will put careful consideration into your cat’s antibiotic schedule. Serious complications may arise if you stop short of the veterinarian-recommended course of antibiotics.

It is not common for antibiotics to make cats sleepy. However, it is possible that some cats may experience side effects from antibiotics, which may include lethargy, weakness, or loss of appetite. These side effects are typically mild and temporary and should improve as the cat's body adjusts to the medication.

If your cat is experiencing unusual sleepiness or other concerning symptoms while taking antibiotics, it is important to contact your veterinarian for advice. Your veterinarian may recommend adjusting the dosage or switching to a different medication to minimize side effects and ensure that your cat receives effective treatment for their condition.
