Sophie (5 years, spayed) was recently diagnosed with staphylococcus spp, which manifests like a claw infection. Because the topical ointment wasn't doing much, the vet prescribed antibiotics - Kesium (amoxicillin and calvulanic acid) 62.5 mg, twice daily for 14 days. We are in day 5. She also takes saccharomyces boulardii and RXNutriGest, which has probiotics in it.
She threw up twice, in the first day and 3rd day, 4-6 hours AFTER the morning dose of antibiotic. She vomited a small quantity of white foam. She also has diarrhea but not severe, once or twice/day in small quantity. Her overall condition is bad. I am sure she has stomach pain, it starts about an hour after the antibiotic and lasts for 3-4 hours after.
She is also losing weight, started before the antibiotic but now is accelerating. She has always been a finicky eater, I opened several threads about her in the past. However, at 3.2 kg/ 7 pounds, she is just bones and skin. There are many things to say - in November 2015 she was in acute renal failure, but recovered. We are testing her kidneys and draw blood every 3 months - last blood work was done on the 20th June, before starting the antibiotic, to see if her kidneys could take it. Blood work fine, all in normal limits (kidney, liver, pancreas, protein levels). CBS also normal. Peeing normal, drinking water as usual, appetite as always (on the poor side, she never ate much, not even as a kitten). But she is so so thin.
Vet says to continue the antibiotics and go see him on Friday, I talked with him today. But Sophie is in pain and is so thin and I am scared.
So, am I crazy? If not, how can I help her?
