Description

Baytril is a synthetic, broad spectrum antibiotic used in dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, and other animals and is available in different formulas — for dogs and cats, it is normally supplied as flavoured tablets. It can also be used in a wide variety of other animals, and for these Baytril Oral Solution is normally best. This treatment has been used very widely in rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, mice, hamsters, as well as many species of bird and reptile. The solution can be added to drinking water or placed directly in the mouth. If it is placed in drinking water, it should not be in a metal dispenser if possible, as this may denature it chemically and reduce its effectiveness. Baytril is also available as an injection or in a doser for use in piglets.

Baytril treats a wide variety of bacterial infections of the alimentary, respiratory, and urogenital tracts and skin. Where possible, the veterinary surgeon should perform sensitivity testing of the bacteria involved before deciding if Baytril is appropriate.

It should not be used in young growing animals as it can have an adverse effect on the cartilage in joints and overdosing cats can cause eye damage, so accurate dosing is important. The usual dose rate is 5mg/kg bodyweight — for full datasheet information of each product, click on its description above.

Baytril 10% oral

Kara

Please advise if this oral drug can be given to a dog on food.

  • VioVet Staff

Unfortunately the 10% oral version is only licensed for use in chicken, turkeys and rabbits. Any advice regarding it's use in dogs would be off license and only your prescribing vet can make recommendations.

Use by date / shelf life?

Ash

What is the shelf life of the oral solution if kept in a fridge?

  • VioVet Staff

The datasheet for the Baytril 2.5% Oral Solution states the following regarding Shelf Life:

Shelf-life
Broached Container: Following withdrawal of the first dose, use the product within 28 days. Discard unused material.
Diluted Product: Any medicated liquid remaining 24 hours after preparation must be discarded.
Special precautions for storage
Do not store above 25oC. Store in a dry place

This means once opened it should be used within 28 days, unless the expiry date on the bottle is shorter than this. If diluted (e.g. in water) then it must be used within 24 hours. It does not need storing in the fridge.

What dose would a Syrian hamster need please?

Kerry

What would be the recommendation for dose and treatment time please?

  • VioVet Staff

This is a prescription only medication so you should seek your vet for doseage advice. The dose and treatment time will vary with weight and the condition being treated.

Which one for a rat

Leah

Which one do I buy for a male rat about a year old with a respiratory infection

  • VioVet Staff

This is a prescription only medication so you will need a written prescription from your vet to purchase it from us. I recommend discussing the doseage with them as it varies depending on the condition being treated. They can write the doseage onto your script so we can dispense the right product to you.
