Clavamox is a combination of two medications. Amoxicillin and Clavulanate, which is a broad-spectrum antibiotic used to treat certain types of bacterial infection. Amoxicillin is a derivative of penicillin which when combined with Clavulanate possesses an increased effectiveness against bacterial infections. The Clavulanate acid portion of this combination may often cause stomach irritation in your pet. It is therefore recommended that this antibacterial combination be given just before or just after the feeding of your pet. Due to the increased activity of this antibiotic it may cause diarrhea in some patients.
Many pet owners believe that scratching is normal behavior for dogs. It is not. Scratching or rubbing the face or flanks, and licking at feet indicates that something is not right with your pet.
