Clavamox
My 7 yr old female min pin became very congested during the night. Since then she seems fine. She will sneeze out milky greenish mucus. Could I use clavamox62.5 to clear it up? And has anyone had this happen to their dog? Just over night? She is eating drinking and potting normally... thanks
