Would 1cc liquid Clavamox be = to a 125 mg tablet Clavamox? I would call the vet's office but it's the stupid vet tech there today & I very strongly dislike talking to her.

Thanks!

That entirely depends on the concentration of the liquid you have.
Clavamox NORMALLY comes in a 15 ml bottle with 62.5mg per 1mL (which is 1cc). If this is what you have, then you would need 2mL to =125mg.

The liquid Clavamox I have is what you just said. So, if I'm giving Molly 1cc liquid Clavamox right now, switching her to the 125 mg tablets would be double her dose, correct? (My brain is broken today.)

Yes

There are 62.5 mg tablets available, otherwise halving them shouldnt be that hard. Good luck!
