My bird is prescribed Clavamox for 10 days every 12 hours and is already having side effects after 2 doses. He is having diarrhea once in a while even though he is taking it with food. I can ask the vet if he should stop it tomorrow and try something different, but I was wondering if starting probiotics now would help? The probiotics I have say to start after the antibiotics, but it’s not harmful to start before, it’s just that the antibiotic would also kill the probiotic. So I don’t know if it would completely cancel it out or if it still might help him to start that now and just keep him on it after the antibiotic is finished as well.
He also has stomach issues on any antibiotic so I don’t know if this medicine is any worse than any other antibiotic. But mostly I’m concerned about a secondary yeast infection since it seems to be relatively common with this medication.
