My 14 y.o. cat is going through hell (and so am I). After pawing at her mouth, she has been to the Vet three different times to have most of her teeth removed. The first was done about 4 months ago. Two weeks ago, her appetite was fine but continued pawing at her mouth brought us back. At that time, 4 teeth were removed. A Convenia shot was given. One week later, after pawing and loss of appetite, the Vet found a tooth fragment which was removed. Clavamox was prescribed. The day after, the cat developed diarrhea and lost her appetite. Of course this happened on Friday as the Vet would not be back until Monday.
After some research, I read that Clavamox can cause diarrhea and loss of appetite. I reluctantly stopped the Clavamox after the Friday evening (3rd) dose. The cat ate somewhat yesterday and diarrhea seemed to slow down. Today, the diarrhea continues and the cat eats a little and walks away. I can tell she is hungry but seems to be experiencing pain after a few bites and the pawing continues. I have tried baby food, scrambled eggs, and cat food pate. She eats a little and stops. I was able to give her some bacon and a few bits of turkey.
We are debating if to resume the Clavamox or wait until Monday to talk with the Vet. I understand the Convenia last for 14 days. It was day 7 after the Convenia that the Clavamox treatment started.
Thank you for any advice.
