Clavamox source!

I have a 9+ year-old, almost 4 kg rooster who was diagnosed with E. coli and given clavamox @ 500mg three times a day, which according to the Merck veterinary manual is the correct dosage. This was to go on for 10 days. But what lethargy! He no longer crows and appetite and activity are way down. After 2 days the vet cut it down to twice a day which has resulted in just a little more activity and appetite, but still no crowing. I want to stop it after 7 days and now the vet agrees. An added problem is that he's also being treated for a GI fungal infection with fluconazole. I'm afraid the clavamox will only make things more suitable for further fungal growth. Any ideas?

A fellow BYC member mentioned where to find Clavamox (amoxicillin and clavulanate). This might interest those that don't always want to use Baytril, but still need something with good broad-spectrum coverage.

Hi Kathy,

I treated a hen for 6 days with Clavamox and can't seem to find any information on withdrawal times before eating her eggs. It has been 10 days since she has had it and she has layed 6 eggs in a row now. She didn't lay for the first few days after treatment. We have been tossing her eggs so far.

The vet I got the Clavamox from just said "oh, a week or so" and that was it. I'm not going back to him for several reasons, but he doesn't seem to put much thought into his chicken care.

Thank you for any insight.
