Yes, twice, during her first year and her third, for staph.

Her urine output is slightly less than average. Other than that, about the same. No symptoms manifesting, no upset tummy from the antibiotic, excellent appetite.  thumbsup1

She regurgitated her meal this "morning" with the antibiotic in in it. Rather than further irritate her system, I took my pre-work shower and fed her a smaller amount with no antibiotic in it before I left.

I would have done the same.  One skipped dose shouldn't matter.  It seems, if it was really going to bother her it would have started before this, she's been on it five days now?  GoodVibes it was just a fluke.

Thank you for the vibes, but it looks like it is going to be hard on her from now until the bottle is finished. Her litterbox output is less than ideal now. Semi-formed, wet, and smelly. I had forgotten how much a litter box could smell.

Is there something else Amber can take instead?

Her majesty is fine. Her WBC has returned to its former (low) levels. Translation: her baseline count is lower than usual, but her system reacts to infection just fine, and the clavamox took care of whatever she was fighting.
