Banamine and Vit B are sure going to make him feel better if nothing else.
Let us know how it goes. I have had real good results with baytril and Vit B, which would be similar to your cocktail.

I had asked the same about the Nuflor/PenG mix and she was comfortable with it, and well it hasn't killed him yet. LOL
When you were giving the Vit. B - did you give it every day?

What is predef short for?? I'm not recognizing that. And he's not all that unruly, I don't even need a lead on him to stick him. He just stands there. But at least he's standing. And he was maybe 2% feistier tonight than this morning. Hoping these are all good signs of things to come.

That is exactly where we were - nothing to lose, and everything to gain. A word of warning - just in case you didn't already know it - if you opt to use the single dose therapy with Baytril, it cannot be administered again for 60 days per the box.
