Hey,
Male Himayan Cat - hematuria (a tiny bit of red we noticed) + licks his penis a lot. We were worried about crystals. My mother took him to a vet... and let's just say he wasn't very nice or willing to explain - according to my mother he was constantly fighting with his staff but was "okay" with her. He prescribed Clavaseptin (Amoxicillin/Clavulanic acid) 50 mg/62.5 mg 1 tab BID x 15 days!!! The cat weights 3.7 kg. Is this appropriate?
I called to speak with the vet, he was very short with me. Said yes this is the dose we use for cats - "fixed dose" and treatment length is right. I barely got the indication "UTI". Then he hung up.
Obviously I'm not familiar with animals - but with humans you treat UTIs 3-5 days (females), 7 days (males) or longer 14 days (if pyelo).
