My rat has a uri . Chewy.com has medicine they sell, I was gonna try baytril antibiotics, how much should I give him ?
Hello. Chewy does offer pharmaceutical drugs, but you will need a prescription from your veterinarian to order anything. You will need to see your vet anyway because there are no medications made specifically for rodents & the doses have to be very carefully calculated & often the medications compounded to make a safe dose for such a small pet. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

I am very low income. My female dog has had pancreitis before and is STARTING to have same symptoms. I brought her to a low cost clinic today. They said they are not set for serious sicknesses and were not sure what to give her. They did NO labwork.
Please contact the original prescribing clinic fir advice on previous dosage, we are mot in a position to prescribe medication on a public forum. Pancreatitis is an inflammatory condition so pain relief, fluids and antinausea medications are vital, oral medication is ok if vomiting can be controlled, if nit injectable and intravenous treatment is required. An ultra low fat diet is very important long term to reduce the severity and long term complications and scarring

My dog has antibiotic resistant Pseudomonas on a toe. 2 weeks Synulox and 2 weeks Baytril did nothing. Toe amputation was done. Wound broke down and rest of toe needed to be amputated. Post op I was told to give Baytril 50mg, 1.5 tablets (75mg) ONCE
Hello. The range of doses for treating Pseudomonas is quite large, but we do recommend treating at the higher end. In some cases, this would mean your dog may need up to 400 mg per day ( 20 mg/kg/day ). At the very least, I would probably recommend the 75 mg every 12 hours or 150 mg once a day. Please check with your vet to make sure the right directions were given to you. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

Hello, I couldn't quite fit my entire question here, so I attached it as photos. The abridged version is this: My 12 y/o dog with open pyometra was injected with 22.7mg/ml of Baytril & given 3 days' worth of Baytril tablets at 34mg. This was suggeste
Hello, sorry other about Lee. That is indeed a low dose for a Baytril prescription. I would double check with your veterinarian about the dose as perhaps it was intended to be given twice daily. Clavamox could also be administered to treat an infection either on its own or in combination with the Baytril. PGF2 Alpha is not an antibiotic and may help rid the fluid within the uterus but will not treat an infection. Hope this helps and best of luck.

Hello, my 12 y/o is on 34mg daily of Baytril for pyometra. Lacking appetite, we've been giving her a liquid diet. To comfort her, we hold her upright during feeding as you would a baby. On Day 7 of antibiotics, she started regurgitating mucus with cl
Yes Baytril can help both in case of pyometra and aspiration pneumonia. Dose would depend on weight so I cannot really tell. Unfortunately though a check up is needed as pyometra could be resolved surgically in most of the cases. Megaoesophagus would require more investigations (ideally radiographs) to be diagnosed properly. Vomiting could be secondary to systemic infection or could have other origins (not easy to determine without more clinical informations at this stage). Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
