Does anyone know the dosage for rabbits regarding Baytril 10%?
I know normally the most common is 2.5%...
 
Well, according to Medirabbit, oral baytril dosages are 5-15mg/kg, so that divided by 4 is 1.25 - 3.75mg/kg. (10% solution being 4 x stronger then the 2.5%). 2.5% being 25mg/ml, 10% being 100mg/ml.
Does that help?:? Or are you looking for ml dose?10%

For 2.5% oral solution, 5mg is 0.2mls. So 5-15 mg is 0.2-0.6mls
For 10% Im figuring that is 0.05 - 0.15mls. But I always feel less then confident with these things!

ETA: With the stronger solution, you might want to draw up the dose, then dilute it further with water.

Is it for injection? The 10% version is four times as strong as the 2.5% version - has the bun it's for seen the vet and had it confirmed that this is ok to use or are you just double checking something? The 10% version is potentially more likely to cause baytril burn on injection because it is that much more concentrated. Hope everybun is ok.
 
Oops! Edited my above posts to specify dosages for oral solution. I assumed.... and you know what they say about assuming.. :lol:
