Clavamox was launched in the US in 1984 by SmithKline Beecham (SKB) Animal Health. It became a PAH product in 1994 after SKB was sold to Pfizer.
There is no minimum age for the use of Clavamox on the product label. In Dr. Margaret Root-Kustritz’s reproductive/neonatology book (Clinical Canine and Feline Reproduction: Evidence-Based Answers), she provides a Clavamox dose of 12.5-25.0 mg/kg PO every 12 hours for kittens and 20-30 mg/kg PO every 8 hours for puppies.
Clavamox is stable in the presence of gastric acid and not significantly influenced by gastric or intestinal contents. The two components are rapidly absorbed resulting in amoxicillin and clavulanic acid concentrations in serum, urine, and tissues similar to those produced when each is administered alone. Amoxicillin and clavulanic acid diffuse readily into most body tissues and fluid with the exception of brain and spinal fluid.
Per Plumb’s Drug Formulary, the half-life in dogs is .39 hours with peak plasma levels occurring 1 hour after absorption. The drug is excreted unchanged in the urine. In dogs, 34-52% of a dose is excreted in the urine as unchanged drug and metabolites, 25-27% eliminated in the feces and 16-33% into the respired air.
Unfortunately the doses I was actually able to get into my girl made her sick and didn't help her! The vet refused to order her a different antibiotic unless I brought her in for re-check, and I'm not able to do that right now. But I did give her the prior antibiotic, azithromycin, and it has helped a little.
Best price for needed medication. Chewy got the script and delivered quickly. Pupper really appreciated getting this medication right away!
Taken at least for a couple days taking one full tablet helped my mini pin to get better from a bladder infection. Then half a tab forward, unfortunately, when I stopped a day later she was again had the infection again.
This seems to be a standard go to antibiotic for many ailments. I wonder when there will be a resistance to it by its so common use.
My pup seemed to have a UTI so the vet prescribed this. I think it worked. I’m not sure because on the one hand, it stopped a slimy discharge but on the other hand, she still licks herself. I’ll need to take her back in for lab work.
My cat needed Clavamox and I am happy to report that he ate this just fine - I crushed it into his wet food, no food aversion to this product. The Clavamox also seemed to do its job!
Two major things to note: Chewy's price was more than 50% LESS than buying this at the vet's office. My cat literally CRAVED these pills - I did not have to force them down his throat at all. He gobbled them up and came running when it was time for the next dose.
I have ordered some Clavamox to keep on hand for my elderly kitty. When he gets bad sniffles -- I treat him to prevent worse illness. We don't have much more time together so I do everything to make him comfortable. it's disappointing that the much smaller version of the pill (non-chewable) is not available. Trying to get this huge pill down my kitty's throat isn't fun for him. He doesn't have teeth so chewing a clavamox is not going to happen. I wish the manufacturer would continue offering the small round yellow version of Clavamox -- better for kitties. Chewy please reach out to the manufacturer on behalf of all kitties!
My dog thought she was getting a treat when she was taking her meds. Hate fighting with her when they are pill form and she can’t chew them.
The prescription service was outstanding. Being disabled I can't tell you how much I appreciated the service.
