He does have a small amount of green discharge from his eyes. More less like his "eye bugers" are green instead of white colored. Thanks

Yes, Clavamox is what is normally prescribed for URI's. I'm assuming the vet probably gave it to you in liquid form with a syringe which is the easiest way to give a puppy medication, kind of like giving a child medicine. Just make sure that if it is the liquid kind keep in refrigerated and shake well before medicating. As for the eye boogers, they'll clear up as the infection clears up. Just keep your puppy on the medication exactly as the veterinarian prescribed.

Clavamox is excellent. The eye boogers is indicative of the same upper respiratory infection.

Clavamox is great...and the "eye boogers" are symptoms of the respiratory infection.

yes this a good medicine. My boxer was placed on it for a upper respiratory infection, at 9 weeks, and she is 2 yrs. strong today.

# Precautions and Side Effects
# While generally safe and effective when prescribed by a veterinarian, amoxicillin + clavulanate can cause side effects in some animals.
# Amoxicillin + clavulanate should not be used in animals with known hypersensitivity or allergy to the drug.
# Some animals may vomit shortly after administration of amoxicillin + clavulanate. This may occur in as many as 10 percent of dogs. In these cases, it may be helpful to feed the animal some food prior to drug administration to decrease stomach irritation. If vomiting after administration continues to occur, contact your veterinarian.
# It is common for animals to develop diarrhea or loose stools from oral amoxicillin, and the same reaction may occur with amoxicillin + clavulanate. This is caused by a change in the bacterial population in the animal's intestine.
# Amoxicillin + clavulanate may interact with other medications. Consult with your veterinarian to determine if other drugs your pet is receiving could interact with amoxicillin + clavulanate. Such drugs include chloramphenicol and tetracycline.

Yes, it's good. I work at a shelter and we use it a lot for URIs.
