The antibiotics that I used were Baytril and Clindamycin orally, then we
switched to injectable Baytril and penicillin. The penicillin did seem to have
the most effect, so since Clavamox is related to it, that might be helpful.
Sadly, not much seemed to help at all, and fluids and supportive care only
extended the little guy's life.
Cytology on the aspirated fluid, as well as a culture, seem worthwhile. A
CBC might be of use. I truly hope that your little girl pulls through this.
