    Could be. I know when I take certain antibiotics I feel funny. When I had Bronchitis last month, I BEGGED my doctor not to prescribe one particular antibiotic because it makes me terribly nausious (sp?) So, if it can do that to me, why can't it make her also feel a bit icky?

    Sorry to hear that she's having potty issues. I'm experiencing the same thing right now -- Pouncer has been in and out of the litterbox alllll day. I have a vet appointment tomorrow and my heart is breaking for the poor boy. Pouncer sends heabumpies of commiseration to Peanut and I send lots of prayers.

    Oh my gosh Debbie, this is terrible, but rest easy. Whenever Max or Speckles have been on meds, they seemed to sleep more right after. I used to give Specks her meds right after dinner and an hour later, she'd be in her favourite sleeping spot and be out for the night. Max has the same reaction. Good thing you took them along on your trip (the meds, that is). As you know, watch out for the deadly diarrhea that comes from antibiotics.

    Get well Princess Peanut.
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    Debbie, I'm sorry to hear that Princess Peanut is having bladder issues again. My cats will also sometimes react this way but I think it all depends on how sick they really are. I hope that she'll feel better soon and that meds will do the trick.

    It could be the medication or she's just feeling worse that day. You know how when we're sick sometimes we'll feel worse before better. I sure hope all is well with the little girl. Will watch for updates!

    At our house liquid Clavamox caused diarreah (lightly runny poop). It works great within a few days you see good results towards recovery.

    Get better Peanut.
    Yes, our guys are sort of out of it after a dose of Clavamox. Our vet said to give it within 20-30 min of them eating something so it doesn't upset the tummy ( if that's worth anything in this case, I don't know)
    Hope she feels better soon.
