ClavamoxQ: My italian greyhoung was diagnosed with bronchitis and was prescribed clavamox and a pill that just says "cough tablets" on the bottle. my dog seems to have had an alergic reaction to the medication and i don't know which one it was, or if it was the combination of the two. also, i don't know what is in the "cough tablets" so it's even more difficult to know what is happening to him. please help. A: Clavamox is an augmented penicillin and would be the most likely candidate for causing an allergic reaction. you would need to check with your veterinarian as to which medicine he gave you that was labeled "cough tablets" to determine the ingredients.

Heartworm for dog and catQ: I have a dog that weighs 61#, a pup that weighs 22# and a cat that weighs about 12#. i notice that the interceptor dose for the heavier dog is the same for the cat. how can this be right?
