Your cat's urinary tract infection is being treated with Clavamox, a common antibiotic. Ensuring she completes the full course is important to effectively clear the infection.
- Clavamox is typically prescribed for 7-14 days for UTIs.
- Always finish the full course, even if symptoms improve before completion.
- Consult your vet for specific guidance tailored to your cat's needs.
Cats generally need to continue Clavamox treatment for about 7 to 14 days, as recommended by your veterinarian. This ensures the infection is fully eliminated, reducing the risk of recurrence. If you notice any unusual symptoms or if your cat seems unwell during the treatment, contact your vet for advice. Completing the prescribed duration is key, even if your cat appears to be feeling better before the end of the treatment period.
