My pet's enrofloxacin smells like vinegar. Is it safe to use?

It is safe for your rabbit, QUINOLONES is the antibiotic family and Baytril is a part of this family, the only thing you have to make sure of is that the previous concentration you had was the same (5%), if it is not the same you will need to adjust the dosage. Baytril usually comes in 10% or 2.5% solutions, i don't think that they have a 5% solution (except the injectable form). this means you will need to either double the dose (if you used 10% previously) or divide the original dose by 2 (if you used the 2.5 %).

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Coco's medication. It could be the bottle that the Clavamox was put in making it appear orange from the outside. It should be a creamy white to yellow color. Look inside, and if the liquid is orange or dark, then call his vet to let them know about this and see if it's safe to give him. I hope this helps!

Enrofloxacin is a safe antibiotic to give Flip and it will not be detrimental to his growth. While it is a fluoroquinolone, it is not recommended to give to puppies under six months of age due to the effects on the growth of a puppy. Because he is over six months of age, it is fine to give to him :-)

The typical dose of enrofloxacin for dogs is 2.5 to 10 mg per pound (5 to 20 mg/kg) orally per day. The total daily dose may be given once a day or divided into twice daily doses. So, the dose she was prescribed is on the high end of the dosing range for her weight but still within the recommended dosage. If you are concerned I suggest you call your vet for clarification. 31 pounds / 2.2 pounds per kg = 14kg 14kg x 20 mg/kg (high end of the dosing range) = 281.8 mg 281.8mg / 135mg tablets = 2 tablets

There is a range for the dose of Baytril depending on what we are treating with the antibiotic. C is on the high end of the dosage range which does sometimes make it more likely that we will see side effects commonly associated with antibiotics (including vomiting). I would contact your veterinarian to advise them about C's vomiting and ask for their recommendation. They may adjust his dose, change his antibiotic, or recommend an anti-nausea medication. Good luck! I hope that was helpful and that C feels better soon. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Unfortunately, it's not possible to give a good opinion about this, because I don't have the benefit of examining Izzy and fully understanding his condition. I assume that your vet prescribed these medications, because they determined that there was an infection and pain (usually dental problems are quite painful). It's good that he is eating fine and doesn't seem to be severely afflicted by this condition, but keep in mind that these guys are really good at disguising pain. As a prey species, they will usually hide their pain as much as possible until it becomes intolerable. Without knowing more, I can only assume that the vet prescribed these medications, because they felt they were necessary. The best person to ask about this is the vet who prescribed the medication. You may understand their reasoning better by asking what could happen if you don't give the medication. I hope that helps and Izzy gets better soon.

Most liquid metronidazole suspensions are compounded, and for the most part they are oil based suspensions. If this is the case for your bottle of metronidazole the main reason that refrigeration is recommended is to prevent bacterial contamination, not to preserve the medication. I think it will be safe to give Jack a dose, but you should plan to call either the compounding pharmacy or your vet in the morning to confirm that the medication is still effective.
