[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 9938"] I'm Canadian, and Baytril has been approved in the US in cattle. I haven't heard that it is approved yet in Canada, but our vet student feels they use it at the OVC in cattle. Thus, yes and no on approval. Does it work? Baytril (enrofloxacin) is an antibiotic which was originally created for humans, but had an odd side effect, so they refined it and created Ciprofloxacin (the Cipro of the anthrax scare). It is very potent against certain organisms, does well with skin, lung, bladder infections etc. Side effects in animals have been permanent cartilage defects in fast growth phase of dogs (between 2-10 months), deafness and blindness in cats at higher than minimum dosages. My friends in the US who have used it felt it was very effective, but giving it daily is a pain. There is an injectable form in Canada for small animals, and it must be given intramuscularly. I do not know the dosage or route in cattle. I would imagine Bayer would have a website on its use in cattle. Too much info? Sorry! [/QUOTE]
