Donating YT 2000 Club Member | Infected bite yesterday I took Jersey to the vet he had a bump on his side that he kept licking. I wasn't sure what it was. Vet said it looked like a bite of some sort that was infected. vet prescribed Clavamox every 12 hrs, Jersey had had 3 doses. He is not himself sleeping a lot more than usual. does anyone if Clavamox makes pups sleepy?

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Oh poor baby, Clavamox is an antibiotic, and I don't know if it will make him sleepy, but it's given for infections, and the infection can make a dog sleepy. Rest and fevers are nature’s way of fighting infections. I hope Jersey is feeling better soon. Did the doctor have any idea of what type of bite?

Donating YT 2000 Club Member | Thanks Nancy OK maybe he is just sleepy from not feeling well. No Dr not sure maybe spider or some other bug bite. I do remember earlier in the week he woke up his happy energetic self and I let him out. About 15 min later he was shaking I thought he had a stomach issue but no other signs. I'm thinking that's when he got bit. Then on Friday I noticed he was licking his side and it looked like a little bump. I wasn't sure what is was I thought at 1st a tick that was burrowed deep, then yesterday morning there was no change in the size and he was still licking.

| Have you called the vet to see if it an make him sleepy? I had a dog allergic to that years ago but she broke out. This is what I found on the internet. What are the possible side effects of Clavamox: Contact your veterinarian immediately if your pet experiences diarrhea that is severe and lasts longer than 3 days. Stop giving Clavamox and seek emergency veterinary medical care in the event of an allergic reaction (shortness of breath; hives; swelling of the lips, tongue, or face; rash; or fainting) Other less serious side effects such as mild diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, or yeast or fungal infection may be more likely to occur. Continue to give Clavamox and notify your veterinarian if these symptoms occur. Talk to your veterinarian about any side effect that seems unusual or bothersome to your pet. Hope he is better soon......

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I am glad he's up and about. I have noticed that Clavamox make them a little more sleepy. It could be from his body fighting the infection as well. Hope he's back 100% soon.

| Ahhh poor little Jersey. Hope he gets to feeling better. Dudley is on antibotics along with his K/d for 3wks. and he sleeps too. BUt, its hard to tell if anything is causes it because all of mine sleep alot anyway. It might be better for the little guy to just sleep and rest but if he showed any signs of being allergic to it in anyway I would head for the vet. Hope he is better soon. BYW, he is the cutest little thing. That sweet little face. He is just darling. |
