I've talked to him
No Culture and prescribed Baytril
I recommended the every other day to him through PM
A Culture and Sensitivity test should always be the first protocol.
I believe he is aware the Baytril is a "shot in the dark" as to whether or not the Baytril will knock the RI out.
A lot of vets swear by it, due to ignorance or over confidence I don"t know.
But not every RI is created equal, and therefore shouldn't be treated as the last one they dealt with.
This misuse of drugs leads to VERY drug resistant bacteria that only make treating the problem more difficult or even resistant.
e.g. Penicillin was once a wonder drug, now look at how often it's used due to bacteria resistance.
CULTURE PEOPLE!!!
