When did your vet start him on Amoxycillin? You should see an improvement in 48 hours. If not, he may need a different antibiotic. Clavamox, not amoxycillin is normally given for uti's. It's amoxycillin with clavulanate and is more effective on different types of bacteria than plain amoxycillin.

Your vet might need to do a sterile culture if it doesn't clear up. That will tell him exactly what bacteria is causing the infection so he will know which antibiotics to prescribe.

Poor Cody. I'd call your vet first thing in the morning and let him know that Cody is not improving.
