Havoc is a little more lively this morning, so I guess he was just a little depressed from being at the vet all day yesterday. He's still a little snuffy, but he's not actually sneezing as much as he was yesterday. Granted, he's only had one dose of antibiotics so far.
Antibiotics always clear up the problem, but I'm wondering if I'm just treating the symptoms rather than finding and preventing the problem. Seems a little odd that one cat would keep getting URI's and the other cat be perfectly fine.
I think what I need to do is talk to a vet and discuss all of my concerns before I take the cat in next time. Seems like once you drop them off, they're just another patient to be seen when you can squeeze them in. I've worked at a clinic before and I know how busy they can be, so I kinda know why these things happen, it's just a shame that everything is so rush-rush nowadays. Doctor B at clinic #1 is an excellent vet, but she is the large animal doctor and if there is a horse anywhere in that clinic it's hard to get her to pay attention to a dog or cat. Small animals get heaped on Doctor A who also gets stuck with surgeries.
