Amoxicillin/ Clavulanic Acid Adverse Event Insights

The FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine database currently holds 11 adverse event reports referencing Amoxicillin/ Clavulanic Acid, including 1 reports in which the animal died — a 910.0% case-fatality figure among reported events only, not a population-level mortality rate. Active ingredient on file: Amoxicillin/ Clavulanic Acid. Reported administration routes include Oral, Unknown. These numbers reflect voluntary submissions from pet owners, veterinarians, and manufacturers and therefore under-represent mild events and over-represent severe ones — a pattern the FDA has documented repeatedly for pharmacovigilance datasets.

The species most frequently named in Amoxicillin/ Clavulanic Acid reports are Dog (7 reports), Cat (4 reports), with Dog accounting for the largest share. Within those species, Spaniel - Cocker American (2), Domestic Longhair (2), Dachshund (unspecified) (2) appear most often — though breed popularity and ownership density shape these counts as much as any drug-specific sensitivity. This distribution matters because the same active ingredient can behave very differently across body sizes, ages, and species physiology.

The most commonly reported clinical signs associated with Amoxicillin/ Clavulanic Acid are Inappropriate urination (2), Dehydration (2), Other abnormal test result NOS (2), Ataxia (2). Of the 11 reports with a coded outcome, Outcome Unknown is the leading category at 54.5%. Because FDA adverse event data describes correlation rather than causation, these figures are best used to frame informed questions with a veterinarian and to compare reporting patterns across related products — not as a standalone safety verdict on Amoxicillin/ Clavulanic Acid.
