Re: [Felvtalk] Clavamox aka Augmentin
When I was bitten by a cat, turned out to be a neighbor on next road, went to ER (did not think about what might happen) because blood spurting everywhere, they did not have Augmentin - it is too expensive to stock! I swear, that is what the nurse told the doctor so he had me soak my hand in Betadne for an hour and then get the Augmentin at the pharmacy next day. I had let it bleed so it would wash out bacteria and applied a pressure bandage. In case that happens again, I had my doctor give me a script for Augmentin to keep on hand - just in case. Since I rescue injured vultures, coons and others, she did not even question my reason, just gave it to me, especially after I told about the ER episode.

Re: [Felvtalk] Clavamox aka Augmentin
My mother was a nurse and a detail man once told her that human and animal meds are the same, they just put different labels on them. Vet meds are cheaper than human.

Re: [Felvtalk] Clavamox aka Augmentin
Hi Beth If your Vet knows you are treating, could s/he simply provide a prescription? Mine does, either writes it so I can shop it around, or for some, calls in for the $4 and free pharmacy deals. There are places that sell Abx without prescription, but I'm not trusting enough. Places like KVVet Supply, Valley Vet and Jeffers have accredited pharmacies, and the prices are good. I once used a place called VetServ, but don;t know if they are still in business. IIRC, they had their own "staff" vets which somehow were allowed to prescribe long distance without ever seeing the animal. They were expensive, I thought.

Re: [Felvtalk] Clavamox aka Augmentin
Hi Lee, I have Clavamox in 250 mgs and 375 mgs, as well as the 62.5 mgs that are for the cats. Augmentinseemsto be 250, 500, and 875.

Re: [Felvtalk] Clavamox aka Augmentin
You would have to take a whole lot of Clavamox to make up the mgs. that you would need. Augmentin is a much higher mg. dose than what is given to cats.But then again, you could take as many pills to make up the difference and you would not have to deal with a physician who might report you to the Health Department and endanger your cat who simply had a bad fur day and bit you.
