Using powdered Enrofloxacin for URI

[Sally73]

I have some powdered Enrofloxacin 20% intended for birds.
Has anyone used this before to treat rats with respiratory infections?
I'm not sure of the dosage I should be using. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. TIA

Unfortunately we cannot give you mixing/dosing instructions on the 20% enro powder. It won't be accurate as tthepowder is not pure Enro like a pill would be, it's a small amount of Enro in a whole lot of powder. We tried very hard behind the scenes to figure out mixing/dosing on Real Rat Lovers Want to Know but finally gave up and just recommend not buying it.

Ok thank you for the response. Is there anything you can buy online that IS recommended?

Ladygouldianfinch has Enrofloxyn 10% that works well.

Can you measure 10% Enrofloxacin powder for rats?

 

[lilspaz68]

Enrofloxyn 10 % is a liquid. 100 mg/ml. IF you get it and need help with mixing and dosing just let us know.

Ok, I will get some then, I have the enrofloxacin powder 10% and seems as tho it can’t be used. Thank you

Just saw this now. I have never used powdered baytril and have no idea regarding it's use
Perhaps you can check with a vet re how to mix it and the proper dose

Hope you found the help you needed
