This is Off the Baytril Site ..
I got my Dosage off the MerckVet Manual on line
So Dosages could be much higher per KG .. But I have used it at 8 mg per pound for a Hound that got cought in a Barbwire Fence last week ..
BaytrilÒ is available in three different tablet strengths and as injectable solution. This allows the veterinarian to start treatment with an injection and dispense Baytril tablets to the pet owner for follow-up treatment at home.
In general Baytril is given to cats and dogs at 5 mg/kg b.w. once daily for 5 – 10 consecutive days.
Recent findings suggest that once daily application of the total daily dose maximises the success of Baytril therapy.
This regimen also offers more convenience to the animal owner and significantly increases therapeutic compliance.
For more details please consult your local product information.
Summary: US Baytril Formulations
Baytril is available as BaytrilÒ Taste TabsTM in different strenghts with flavouring enhancement, and as coated tablets without flavour. An injectable solution is also available. BaytrilÒ Otic is a combination of enrofloxacin and silver sulfadiazine registered for the treatment of canine otitis externa complicated by bacterial and fungal organisms.
Baytril tablets are given to dogs at a dose of 5 – 20 mg/kg b.w., preferably once daily. This gives the veterinarian the possibility to adapt the therapeutic dose within this range to the severity of the disease and susceptibility of the pathogen.
In cats BaytrilÒ tablets are dosed at 5 mg/kg b.w., preferably once daily.
Duration of treatment in dogs and cats should be based on clinical evidence. In general administration of Baytril tablets should continue for at least 2 – 3 days beyond cessation of clinical signs. For severe and complicated infections, more extended intervals of treatment (up to 30 days) may be necessary.
