Subject: [Ferret-Health-list] Augmentin, safe or not??

Augmentin is the the human version of Clavamox for animals. It can cause
diarrhea. It not only rids the body of bad bacteria(intestinal) but the good
too( which can cause the diarrhea)can be helped by feeding yougart with
active cultures.But I would consult your vet if it continues.(Not A VET)
