I don't believe that the bottles above have any manufacturing info on them and they certainly are not meant to be used for injections. IMNSHO, injectable anything should come from a sterile, sealed, container.

Oral Baytril 10% (100mg/ml) - $25.49

Generic 10% injectable (100mg/ml) - Prices usually start at around $20

Note that some websites say to give it in the water, but I would not recommend this, I *always* give it orally or by injection, never in water.

Just want to make sure that I understand what you're saying. The item in the first photo is not injectable but how do you dose it? And the bottom photo is that something that is injectable? And I'm guessing I buy the needles at the same place that I buy the medication from correct? Where do I inject at? What type of Corid do you recommend the powder or the liquid. Sorry for all the questions but this is new to me and I want to be sure I'm doing this right.

Most feed stores do not sell 1 ml syringes, so you would have to order those. This place sells boxes of 100:

For a needle, you'll want 22 gauge, which you should be able to get at a feed store.

Never be for for asking questions, that's one of the reasons we're here!

Thanks Kathy! I ordered the top one and will also order some corid to have on hand too. Thanks for the great information. So helpful

Quote: Great! The dose I see prescribed most often is 10 mg/kg twice a day for no more than 5 days. That's about 0.045 ml per pound twice a day.
