7 year old male cat sneezing, watery eyes, shaking head, runny nose. Took to vet and she gave him a shot of Depro-Medrol and said if no improvement in a few days she would write script for antibiotic.
Fast forward 2 days and I don't see much if any improvement. Cat sleeps more than normal and no energy. He is eating and that's a good thing.
Called vet today and she wrote script for Clavacillin 125mg tablets/ 1 tablet twice a day or 250mg.
According to mfg the recommended dosage is 6.25mg per pound x 15 lb cat or approx 94mg per day or 125mg max per day. The 250mg dosage per day seems too high. Anyone have any experience with this?
After reading all the horror stories about Depo-Medrol I'm now worried that she prescribed too much antibiotics or am I overreacting?. Will start the Clavacillin in the morning.
