No kidding huh? No, seriously tho, I did edit my comment on the FDA thing. Some if not most meds are FDA approved, some vet meds are not. I don't know the fine details on how it works, but I believe that pet meds are regulated differently than human, again I don't know specifics. Vets can purchase bulk on meds and redistribute to patients, or dilute to dosage needed. Very different than human meds!!! We have stores here that sell bulk antibiotics for horses and cows. You can buy it literally by the bucket, if your brave enough to reconstitute on your own!!! I'm not sure if it comes with directions

Its regulated differently here I believe. Whatever makes it more Byzantine is the American way.
My vet and I had a long discussion about Baytril. Either Mader or someone else hosting a seminar blasted the vets for prescribing it like aspirin. I've had mixed results with it. However, you said something interesting. My vet is getting the impression that it should be given in conjunction with another med like you were doing.
What conclusion have you and your vet come to on this?

My vet is on the cautious side. He doesn't bombard with meds and hope one works. Baytril should be sufficient to kill what ails you, which is why it is prescribed often, when it didn't, he added ampicillin. That did the trick and we didn't have to pursue farther. I find it funny that they yell at vets for prescribing Baytril like aspirin, when we prescribe Cipro the same way. It has low side effects, is usually effective in a wide range of ailments, and cheap. What more could you ask for!!?? But to more answer your question, I don't know if he has a set game plan on usage of meds, like I said, he likes to try the least invasive and move up.

I think the point was that vets should try something that's easier on the animal than constant build up of Baytril. In effect delve into the problem and find something more targeted.
