If your dog is experiencing tiredness, reduced appetite, and an upset stomach after starting Clavamox, these can be common side effects of the medication.
- Tiredness or lethargy
- Reduced appetite
- Upset stomach or vomiting
- Diarrhea
These symptoms are generally mild and often resolve on their own as your dog's body adjusts to the medication. However, it's crucial to monitor your pet's condition. Persistent or worsening symptoms may require veterinary attention to ensure there are no serious underlying issues. Your veterinarian can offer guidance on whether a dose adjustment or a change in medication is needed.
For further peace of mind, please consider scheduling a consultation with one of our veterinarians to discuss your dog's specific symptoms and medical history. Book a consultation with Dial A Vet today.
