Ten days is typical treatment with Baytril for a plus 2 reading on mycoplasma. For a more serious infection then it would likely be the 14 days. Seven days is a tad short..... I believe some are using Doxycycline now instead of Baytril....and it may be according to the degree of the infection or length of time..............I don't know.

Anyone else on the list with more accurate info? I know the typical dose for antibiotics is 7 days, but I recall him telling me you need to do it for 14 days or more... ...getting ready to breed one of my bitches and I have had much trouble over the past two or three years getting my bitches pregnant...well the stud owner that I plan to use requested that I get the test done...yep...the bitch is plus 2 ( what ever that means) for mycoplasma...My vet says that is not a large count but he put her on 136mg Baytril one and a half tablets a day for 7 days....where does Myco come from?...how do they get it....perhaps all my bitches had it....man I'm dumb...at least I admit it...the stud owner is one of the smartest folks on this list...live and ya learn...Ed ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
