How much do they each weigh and is the Baytril 22.7?

You've been giving them 0.015 of Baytril twice a day, correct?

How many days have you been doing this?

Is the Baytril 22.7 mg/ml (liquid injectable)--I understand you are giving it orally. We need to know about the Baytril in order to answer your question correctly.

Don't give them another dose today. Since they were already on the amox. I would dose once tomorrow, and ONCE Wednesday and then stop all abs.
Make sure they are getting their yogurt and you can give them water between feedings to flush it out. You would have seen a problem already if it did affect them. I think you're fine since you only did this once.

Overdoses can be hard on kidneys and liver, Not much you could do at this point. Just make sure they stay well hydrated. Give the regular (1) dose tomorrow they will most likly be fine. I know a few that were over dosed for a longer period and did fine without any problem arising.
