Another Clavamox question...

Posted : 8/28/2006 11:51:36 AM

The Vet prescribed Clavamox for Charlie because of a large scab on his paw. He has been on it for about 5 days. After just the first day, he started to show signs of having a loss of appetite by sniffing his food and nibbling at it instead of devouring it like he usually does. Yesterday he had some diarrhea and this morning he won't eat his food at all. Should I stop giving this to him or continue until it is all gone (7 day supply)?

In the other place you put this I said to give a probiotic. I'd also try to get the dog to eat -- maybe something yummy but mild like hamburger and rice.
