SICK KITTEN!!!! HELP!!!!!

[Lill]

MY SIX MO. OLD KITTEN WAS GIVEN CLAVAMOX FOR SNEEZING.. CAN THIS ALSO MAKE HIM THROW UP & HAVE THE RUNS????

[Tambrey]

it could possibly upset his tummy.....but I would say call the vet, they usually have a weekend emergency number...and get the kitten back in if necessary....at the latest....tomorrow morning....but kittens can turn for the worse really fast so watch him like a hawk and if you notice a worsening...get to the ER vet immediately!!

Assuming the vet diagnosed an upper respiratory infection, but, he also needs to determine what type, i.e. rhinotracheitis, calicivirus or chlamydia. Discuss that with him, and ask about ruling out other health problems that may or may not be related to the sneezing. The diarrhea may or may not be related to the clavamox, your vet needs to find that out, immediately.
