Can my kitten take Clavamox oral and Clindamycin injections together?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Mediumhair | Female | unspayed | 19 days old | 0.5 lbs

Two questions. First is clavamox oral and clindamycin injections safe to use together? I have a 4 week kitten that was on doxy liquid oral and clindamycin injections. The doxy made her have no appetite so I switched to just clavamox. However I think the clin injections were helping and am wondering if I can continue to use those with clavamox or if those react badly?

They are safe to use together however clavamox has a high rate of causing nausea/loss of appetite too. Of course consult with your veterinarian as I do not know what condition your little baby has and one of or both of those may be uneccesary. With all of these antibiotics I also definitely recommend a probiotic like benebac gel. Best of luck to you and the kitten!
