I have the idea lodged in the back of my brain that vets can give a longer lasting dose of baytril by injecting it - or is it just quicker acting rather than longer lasting?

There is no 'Long acting' Baytril injection. It needs to be given daily xx

There are some antibiotics (such as oxytetracycline) which can be given in a LA injectable form.
You might be thinking of the fact that the efficiency of baytril is increased if it is given by injection instead of orally on a once daily dose. I think it's something like 72% effective compared to 60% orally, although I can't quite remember the exact details. They're in my RWA conference notes somewhere!

That your Vet considered that a course of Baytril was sufficient to treat your Rabbit's illness
I think/hope, that the 50mls Baytril was a typo, as it was given as a one off.
"The vet vaccinated patch, blaze and paws for mixi but couldn't do sunny as he had a shot of baytril injection 50ml i think it said"
