Course of Baytril?

So Teddy is so, so much better, thank goodness (suspected UTI).

The vet advised 1 week course of baytril, but on these forums, I have seen 10 to 14 days. Should I stick with 7 days as per vets advise? (He has had 8 days).

We will then repeat the urine test to check the protein issue.

I would call the Vet and ask if he/she thinks a slightly longer course may be a good idea :)

Yes it might be worth checking with the vet whether he thinks longer would be more beneficial.
I have certainly given longer courses for UTI :)
 
As I wasn't able to check with the vet at the time teddy needed his next dose, I took the plunge and gave another dose - rather a couple of extra days medication, which he is doing very well on, than the potential infection (if there was one) rearing its ugly head and having to start the entire course over again.

Thanks for replies :)
