Hi. My 12 year old Oliver had surgery 2 weeks ago to remove a lump on his paw. But the vet also found a nail bed infection on one of his toes. He was sent home with 10 days of Amoxicillin / clavulanic acid for the infection. This is the first time he has Amoxicillin. He was lethargic and has soft stool while on the antibiotics. I carried on as he was still eating and I googled and found these were possible side effects of the antibiotics. It has been 2 days since he finished the Amoxicilli and he’s still lethargic and has less energy than usual.
He has been on doxycycline a number of times and never had any side effects.
He is going back to the vet next week to have his stitches removed but I just want to ask if anyone has negative experience with Amoxicillin. I can’t think of anything else that could cause his low energy. And I’m terribly worried. It’s stressful seeing him so lethargic and sleeping all the time.
Thanks
