Appreciate the question — let's unpack this. Clavamox is a common antibiotic used for treating a variety of infections in cats. If you’re looking for an alternative, it's often due to a concern over side effects, allergies, or even issues with administering the medication.
There are several other antibiotics that could be suitable depending on the type of infection your cat has and its specific needs. Options might include medications like doxycycline, enrofloxacin, or marbofloxacin, each having its unique spectrum of activity and considerations.
One reason you may consider alternatives is if your cat is experiencing digestive upset, which can happen with any antibiotic. If that's the case, you can try giving the medication with a small meal to help minimize stomach irritation.
Monitor your cat for signs such as vomiting, diarrhea, changes in appetite, or lethargy, which can indicate that the medication isn't being tolerated well. If you notice these or if the infection seems to persist or worsen, that would be a good reason to seek further assistance.
Since choosing the right antibiotic depends on the specific infection and your cat's health status, I encourage you to book a video consult with one of our vets at Dial A Vet. We can help tailor a treatment plan that keeps your kitty safe and comfortable.

It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
