Carolyn marhaven@xxxxxxx _www.marhaven.com_ (http://www.marhaven.com) Baytril is definitely for 10 days, but IF there's something that comes back nasty in the culture, I'd (personally) get to the bottom of whatever it is and skip that season. I know a LOT of folks who give it when a bitch has missed a time or two, no rhyme or reason and I'm dead set against that. (It's a powerful antibiotic...what if your gal builds/develops a tolerance and you really need it later???) As the owner of stud dogs, I don't want to see a bitch given antibiotics like chicklets. For a LOT of reasons....if there's something going on w/ the bitch, I don't want to meet her until it's cleared up and if folks are having trouble getting her in whelp and grasping at straws, I for sure don't want to meet her (again) six months from now.
