As I understand it Baytril is relatively safe in pregancy. The major (only)
real concern is its effect on cartilage in young growing animals.
"Enrofloxacin in pregnant dogs has been investigated. Breeding, pregnant and
lactating dogs receiving up to 15 mg/kg day demonstrated no treatment
related effects. However, because of the risks of cartilage abnormalities in
young
animals, the fluoroquinolones are not generally recommended to be used during
pregnancy unless the benefits of therapy clearly outweigh the risks. Limited
studies in male dogs at various dosages have indicated no effects on male
breeding performance. Safety in breeding, pregnant, or lactating cats has not
been established." Plumb Veterinary Formulary
