Hello -

I had a question about Clavamox - my cat Bijou is on PZI too and appeared to have gone off the charts on BG after taking 2 doses of Clavamox 12 hours apart. He had an infected paw - what was wrong with Mobius when he was prescribed Clavamox? I was closely monitoring his BG as he just was put on it a week ago and there was no major increase that appeared due to the infection, just after he was on Clavamox. I appreciate any input - thank you for your help!

How old is your cat? Is he on insulin at all? My vet would say not to give him insulin if he can't eat. Moby is on PZI.

I haven't had any problems with her going hypoglycemic. Her insulin needs go up and down gradually.

PM me if you have any questions. Moby was diagnosed in January, and has no hyper or hypoglycemic episodes (Knock wood). She's 12 years old.
