Just like humans, animals can be allergic to some medications. Cats are particularly sensitive to the side effects from medications. Just like humans, they can itch, become nauseated, vomit, or have diarrhea from many types of meds, especially antibiotics like Clavamox.

Interesting fact: Most meds that humans use can be used in cats and dogs. BUT a vet needs to order the kind of med and the dose per pound of the animal.

Yes, cats can be prescribed amoxicillin by a veterinarian to treat a bacterial infection. However, you should not try to medicate your cat with amoxicillin yourself without the direction of a veterinarian.
