Baytril and Dexamethasone for the steroid

x2 good luck Elemes!
It depends on what is being treated, but it's usually 5 days, though some vets will prescribe it longer.I may have been hearing that about the steroid. How many days should it be given
Don't dwell on the temp, 'cause it changes nothing... I think your rooster needs antibiotics regardless of what his cloacal temp is.I know you've said already temp is possibly unreliable to check on chickens but the vet says anything over 104 is a fever and mercks vet manual says 105-109.5 is normal. I'm curious why chicken health is seems so dodgy...
This is how this drug is usually given, though directions are usually clearer. In this case, do not second guess the vet, he is correct, and if it's a bacterial infection that's sensitive to Bayril then you should see improvement in 8-72 hours. If he does not improve after 72 hours (six injections), call your vet and ask if you should continue.Alright. I'm pretty dumb about chicken health but I do know a little about science. The vet gave me injectible baytril and said you can use 2-5 days. I know how antibiotics work. This is silly. So I have an undiagnosed chicken with not-that, maybe this and also a little of this, but nothing definitive and I am now going to inject him, at my leisure,2x daily for as long as I feel like it? This is crazy.
No wonder they give the name for a necropsy right away.
