Adult neutered male cat is lethargic & walks strange, a bit clumsily w/back arched. Hid for a day, but is still eating normal. Took to vet & diagnosed with 'surely some type of infection' & given Clavamox which he completed days ago.

If the clavamox didn't resolve the issue, I would bring him back in for additional exams such as neurologic examination, bloodwork, x-rays, etc to try and narrow down the cause. These can help rule out metabolic or infectious issues, injuries or joint problems, or neurological disease that could be causing his symptoms. If you weren't comfortable with your current vet, seeking out a second opinion in person or getting a referral to a specialist in your area may also be beneficial.
