Hi Lisa and Natalie, This type of clavomox is actually the 125 mg pill kind. I like the liquid better, but I really hope to get an injection type of antibiotics next time. She seemed to keep it down this evening, but she is not doing so good overall. Still won't eat and hides under the bed. I can tell by looking at her bowl that she does drink water, so at least that's good.
I still can't believe that all the other cats tested negative!! That was such a relief. I hope Oreo's test was a false positive. That would be another miracle! I will talk to the vet about switching antibiotics and dosage. I'm al little worried because she really needs the help to get rid of this infection. I hope it's not to late. Lisa, I live in Alabama.
