I would at least call your vet about Louie to let him/her know you're not seeing any improvement and let the vet decide the next step or tell you exactly what to expect. One option would be to change the antibiotic.

As for Kloe, an issue with her recovery is that she had just got her vaccine(s). The vaccine stimulates the immune response, as will an injury or infection. Her immune system is overloaded at this time due to her injury, but the vaccine should clear her system in 3-4 weeks, at which time it will get to work on her injury. If she's very small, and if she got more than one vaccine, it could take a week or two longer. It's possible to not see much improvement till the vaccines work their way out of her system.

Praying for your little ones...
