Baytril dosage

[moletteuk]

The last couple of times my degus have been given baytril the dose has been high compared to degutopia, so I was just wondering what dose everyone else is getting?

Degutopia says to start at 2.5mg per kg once a day, which works out at 0.03ml of 2.5% baytril for a 300g degu. I've been given 0.1ml twice a day, so that's about 7 times as much. I think twice a day is current best practice, so maybe the doses have crept up too?

Nige's dosage was 0.14ml once a day, that was 2.5% strength. He was well underweight though, around 150-180g.

So your dosages sound fine to me.

Makoto was prescribed .1 ml of a 20mg/ml mixture twice a day. He got banana-flavored baytril.

When it is specially mixed with the Ribena flavoring, the dose is .2 ml twice a day (I think the vet said the concentration is less).

Thanks.

How heavy was Makoto?

Anyone else? (It's usually written on the bottle if anyone else has old bottles lying around)
