Baytril can cause TISSUE necrosis. never heard of anything with the muscles. Subq is a good way to get Baytril "Burns" in my opinion. Diluting with Saline is also a good idea when using the 100mg/kg Baytril, but for the 22.5mg/kg, I've found a lot of people don't bother.

BEST way to prevent scarring is to inject it DEEP into the muscle and then rub the site to disperse the medication.

I give any medication when needed for a full month.

This is just my experience and by no means should go past your vets orders. But in my experience, most vets are clueless about herps and knowing a thing or two can sometimes be very beneficial.

I would put my money on ignorance.

Baytril can cause muscle necrosis, so it's best to give subcutaneously and to dilute the dose with saline before injection. Also why I don't use it as a first-line treatment. 10 mg/kg every 48 hrs is the standard dose, but of course is pointless if the bug is resistant. Usually recommend a 20 day treatment, but perhaps I should listen to Dr. Stahl's radio show and see why he recommends 30.
