    Baytril is a prescription medication for animals, not sold OTC.
    Call around to family, friends and see what type anti-biotic you can get hold of,
    you would only need a pill or two. We can help with the breakdown and dosage.
    Cipro would be ideal, many woman use it and may have a pill or two left over.

    Let us know what you can come up with. Keep in mind if this is aspiration pneumonia
    time is of the essence, it takes them down fast without an anti biotic.

    No, we can break it down to the strength we need as long as we know the mg.

    You're looking for Ciprofloxicin (human brand) or Baytril (animal brand).

    I see you are in Florida. Would you by chance be near Brevard County, Cocoa Beach area? This is where I’m located and I have meds.
