Hi all,
We adopted a 1.5yo male cat from the local shelter last weekend and took him to the vet yesterday. Had temp of 104.4 and was diagnosed with a URI. Received sub-q fluids and is now on Veraflox. His overall mood has improved. But his sneezing/sniffling has gotten to be the worst it's been - to the point that a little bit of blood came out of his nostril today. Eyes very runny and I notice a little bump or bubble under his nose (maybe mucous build up?) Is this normal with a bad URI? The vet said he may get worse before he gets better. What should we do? Current vet closed til Monday, not sure if this warrants emergency...
I also posted a few days ago (with more background) under the "Behavior" section:

Any help appreciated! New cat adopters and not quite sure what to do
