Okay got the dosing correct. He is on his third of ten injections. Every other day. Still wheezing. How long is recovery time? When should I notice a marked improvement? Thanks.
In all honesty, you may not notice vast improvement for up to a week AFTER you finish administering the medication. Definitely make sure you take him/her in for the re-check with the vet just to be sure that he is improving. Full recovery can take weeks. :/ Very frustrating. But hopefully you will notice slight improvement after the first few injections. Depends on the animal and his/her response to the medication.
Did you have a tracheal flush done to identify the exact strain of pathogen? Or did the vet just give you Baytril?
It depends on how large the dosage is and how advanced the RI.
On minor to mild its usually prescribed 5mg/kg. On more advanced its 10mg/kg with larger dosages. Though never head of doing shots every 5 days as not sure how affective that will be. ID do more every 3 days at most. And if doing orally every 24 hours.
