Sounds like he's on the wrong antibiotic. I would take him to somewhere asap, to get one the infection is sensitive to. That's from my nursing perspective. I doubt your vet did a culture and sensitivity on the infection. It's a fairly broad spectrum antibiotic, but doesn't work for a number of things, so it needs to be changed right away. If he is on the correct one, you should see improvement within about 24 hrs.
