How much Nu Flor should I give a 5 wk old baby? Don't know weight will try to get exact with a friends scale in a bit... she is smallest one of two. Would it be better to use Baytril?

Baytril 100
Is that in suspension or a pill?

Does it read something like 100 mg/kg?

Yes, liquid.... Suspension? I work with Alpacas and just ran out and got some from work so don't have bottle with me but It said Baytril 100.

Let me ask you a ridiculous question. How much of this Baytril do you dose an alpaca, and "roughly" the weight.
That may make it a little clearer to me. :tilt

Are we talking injectable Baytril? The only 100 Baytril I'm finding is injectable. :dono

Oh sure.... ask me tough question when I'm rattled about my squirrel....haha??? Let's see, I just sent a text to ask my boss because I usually get dosages from him but I think it is 1cc per 100lbs? Still checking with him and trying to look it up online.

I think I got the right answer from a member here Milo's Mom, whose vet used this exact strength.
Thank you MM!
I will send you directions through a pm, in the meantime, if they appear different
from what your vet suggests, let me know and we will figure it out. :grin2
