Clavamox is indicated in the treatment of: Dogs: Skin and soft tissue infections such as wounds, abscesses, cellulitis, superficial/juvenile and deep pyoderma due to susceptible strains of the following organisms: ß-lactamase-producing Staphylococcus aureus, non-ß-lactamase-producing Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus spp., Streptococcus spp., and E. coli. Periodontal infections due to susceptible strains of both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. Clavamox has been shown to be clinically effective for treating cases of canine periodontal disease.

Therapy may be initiated with Clavamox prior to obtaining results from bacteriological and susceptibility studies.

Following determination of susceptibility results and clinical response to medication, therapy may be reevaluated. Prescription items are NON-RETURNABLE and NON-REFUNDABLE.
