 Clavamox for uti
I was wondering if anyone has experience with clavamox for a uti. She was at the emergency vet last night due to blood in urine and they gave me a 62.5 mg pill to give her every 12 hours. She's only three pounds and I've never been able to give her a whole pill without having to make it into a smaller dose for her. I called back and they said I could give half the pill which I still felt was too much. I looked up the dosing and it says 6.25 mg a pound I also noticed they didn't have her weight down. I gave her half the pill with a small meal and an hour later she started with loud stomach gurgles which usually happens before a bloody diarrhea flare up. I then gave her tylan which they said would be safe to continue to give. She gets tylan twice a day to prevent ibd flare ups and this is also an antibiotic. I also give dr beckers pro biotics two to three hours after antibiotics. At this point I feel like it may be a bad idea to give her two antibiotics at once. I called both her vets but they are both going to call me back since they are with clients. Does 62.5 mg sound like a lot for a three pound yorkie to anyone else? |
