My cat has been on Clavamox for 6 weeks and it’s been white every time. Today I picked up and new batch and went to give it to him and it’s orange. Is this okay to give to him?

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Coco's medication. It could be the bottle that the Clavamox was put in making it appear orange from the outside. It should be a creamy white to yellow color. Look inside, and if the liquid is orange or dark, then call his vet to let them know about this and see if it's safe to give him. I hope this helps!
