Just had a thought... Does LA stand for long acting?

And this, though I'm not sure there any dosing info in it:

Pretty sure it does, Kathy. Thus the every 3-5 day recommendation.

I'm curious to hear your nurse friend's opinion of that dosage because I'd be calling doc for a clarification order. Cause the way I am reading that is 'q' means 'every' '3-5d' could mean every 3 to 5 days. Yep I'm a retired nurse and I showed it to my husband, also a retired medical professional and he agreed that it's vague at best and he would never get a pharmacist to fill an RX that he wrote that way.

This seems to be correct. I'm going to go back and edit my original post too, just in case someone comes along in the future and doesn't read far enough.

I think I've got some Baytril in the cabinet. It's old so it might be expired but I don't think it would hurt to give it to her. But I will wait until the morning on that one. I don't mind throwing everything but the kitchen sink at this, but just not all at once.

I saw this one, but it's not the q3-5d one. There were several links in that post and one of the others was it.

Not that one either, but I saw that one, too. The one I looked at was a huge chart, 100someodd pages.

And this is what I get for reading posts backwards. That's the winner!

Baytril is what I would give her, and I'd also try draining her if I was 100% sure that her belly was that big from fluid.
