Calcium binds with it and several other drugs (tetracycline, too, I think), so they aren't supposed to be given together. Some studies say that the same can happen when one uses hard water. Since she said she wasn't going to give the Baytril, I saw no reason to explain the calcium thing.
http://www.drugs.com/drug-interactions/calcium-carbonate.html - Ciprofloxacin is the human equivalent of Baytril. Cipro and many other antibiotics are listed under the moderate interactions link.
