xxxxxxx,

Currently my April is on Clavamox for an abscessed tooth. It has been
effective in resolving the infection. She weighs about 1.4 pounds and her
dosage is 0.33 cc twice daily. As far as I know, it only comes in the one
dose: 50 mg amoxi and 12.5 mg clavulanic acid/ml in 15 ml bottle. I also
still have the box with dosage info from a bottle of Clavamox that I used a
few years back for one of my boys, who was probably a little closer to 2
pounds. His dosage was 0.5 cc twice daily. I'm not in the medical field but
based on this, it seems like the dosage you are using may be low, depending
on your ferret's weight. You may want to talk to your vet about this. I'm
so sorry that your baby is so sick. My best wishes to you both.



Lucie
