Has anyone here ever known Baytril to work on an abscess/infection?
Daisy has been to the vet today for a dental check-up and the vet found a lot of pus in her mouth. I was expecting her to be kept in for molar burring but the vet would like to address the pus issue first. We're to give her Baytril twice a day for the next 10-14 days to see if it clears the infection. However, I have little faith in Baytril....
Daisy had an op around 2 years ago to remove a troublesome tooth and developed an abscess behind her eye following surgery. The original vet prescribed Baytril which didn't touch the abscess at all, in fact the abscess got bigger and bigger to the point where we were certain she would lose her eye. We then took her to a specialist rabbit vet who prescribed Zithromax which cleared it up within around 10 days.
We're going to treat her as advised for the next 2 weeks and see what happens. I am aware that Baytril is the only licensed antibiotic for rabbits but does it really work?
