Clavamox
Amoxicillin for cats is available in different brands, one of which is Clavamox: a powerful antibiotic that can actually save your cat’s life – even yours. Clavamox is a treatment that contains amoxicillin trihydrate and clavulanate potassium, an antibiotic that is “broad spectrum” and can deal with a variety of illnesses that are caused by bacteria, including infections. These antibiotics in tablet form are not available over-the-counter, and so a prescription from your cat’s vet will be required.
