Hello :wave:

I have been given baytril for Molly and I just wanted to ask a stupid :oops: question... it says on the bottle 1 unit per day... I assumed this means 1ml? but i thought that 1ml sounded too much?

I should of phoned the vets today to make sure but I was so panicked and confused about everything I thought I understood what 1 unit meant!

Thanks for your help xx
 
What is she being treated for?

The usual dose for oral Baytril is between 0.4 and 0.6ml.
 
It says 2.5% oral baytril on the bottle

He is being treated for having the 'wobbles' the other day. The vet thinks it vestibular syndrome due to trauma in his ear from when he had his abscess, but he is also being treated for EC (pancur) to be on the safe side and the baytril is for incase it is an ear infection.

2.5% Baytril = 25mg/ml or 2.5mg/0.1ml

The dose for ORAL Baytril is 10mg/kg every 12 hours

Depends how much your Bunny weighs

For example a 2kg Bunny would require a dose of 20mg Baytril every 12 hours which is 0.8ml

Its 0.4ml Baytril/ kg of Bunny every 12 hours

If you have some scales weigh yourself (A) then weigh yourself again holding your Bun (B)
The difference between A and B is the weight of your Bun

Can you add oral Baytril to a treat/nuggets and let the rabbit take it that way?
