Jenn-----Thank you so much for that piece of info that I didn't know---I had to give one of my negs 2 medications simultaneously about a year ago, and one made him foam at the mouth and vomit. I called the vet afetr a couple of days on inflicting this misery on the poor cat, and the vet said to stop giving it to him. I've a feeling it may have been Clavamox. I'll be on red alert next time they want to preescribe it. Apart from anything else it was a total waste of precious kitty $$$$.

Just to point out really unscientific personal experience, clavamox TASTES REALLY BAD, and it's hard to get it INSIDE the cat, so I usually ask for anything BUT clavamox, because what good does it do if it tastes so bad they gag and puke and spit it all out? 4 out of 5 shelter cats that we treated for upper respiratory with clavamox gagged, retched, and foamed at the mouth during dosage.
