im jumping on here 2 years later. I have a question for both of you
@TwitchysChicks @casportpony all info that I see says that baytril should be added to drinking water. Can I administer oral solution directly or is this too potent? I have the same 10% oral solution. I don’t want to give it to the entire flock and I don’t want to separate her
What was the outcome after administering Baytril?

Actually, it should not be given in water for a few reasons.

• Sick birds won't drink enough medicated water for it to be effective.
• Baytril is very bitter and most animals won't drink water medicated with it.
• Baytril might bind with the calcium in hard water which could make it less effective.

With the 10% solution give 0.05 ml per pound of body weight orally twice a day.

Thank you! That’s what I was hoping to hear.

Just chiming in here, Baytril is illegal to use in chickens and other food animals. It is a fluroquinolone and is specifically called out in the FARAD prohibited drugs list.

Not approved/prohibited, yes, but illegal? No one is gonna go to jail for giving Baytril to their sick pet chicken.

other food animals

Not true, Baytril (enrofloxacin) *is labeled and approved* for use in cattle and swine.

specifically called out in the FARAD prohibited drugs list.

True, prohibited in poultry and food animals other than cattle and swine.

Sorry, just the messenger. I don't make the rules.

Do look and you will see that it *is labeled and approved* for use in swine and cattle. Where did you read that it was not approved for use in food animals other than poultry?

If it were not approved for use in cattle and swine places like Valley Vet could not legally sell it, right?

Even FARAD has is as approved for use in cattle and swine.
