17. Can Clavamox Be Used for Long-Term Infections?
Answer
Yes, Clavamox can be used for long-term infections, but it depends on the specific circumstances of the infection and the response of the individual pet. If the infection is severe or has become persistent, a longer course of antibiotics may occasionally be required to eradicate it completely. Antibiotics should only be used sparingly and when required since prolonged usage might have undesirable consequences, such as gastrointestinal distress or the emergence of antibiotic resistance.
18. How Long Does It Take for Clavamox to Start Working?
Answer
The time it takes for Clavamox to start working can vary depending on the severity and type of infection and the individual animal's response to the medication. In general, Clavamox can start to work within a few hours to a few days after starting treatment. However, even if your pet's symptoms improve, it is critical to finish the entire course of antibiotics to eliminate the infection and prevent the development of antibiotic resistance.
