Final answer:

Rapid administration of amoxicillin in a weak and debilitated cat can lead to aspiration pneumonia.


Explanation:

Complication of Rapid Amoxicillin Administration in Cats:

Aspiration pneumonia can result from rapid amoxicillin administration in debilitated cats due to the medication not allowing time for swallowing, leading to the aspiration of the drug into the lungs instead of the stomach.

Excess salivation, inflamed epiglottis, and pharyngeal spasm are not typically associated with rapid amoxicillin administration but can occur due to other issues.
