Subject: Re: [Ferret-Health-list] concerned about baytril

Thank you Dr. Murray.
It isn't very likely that it's an infection, but I wanted to
try antibiotics just in case. More likely it's insulinoma
spread all over. It's been a tough one to diagnose.

Since it's such nasty stuff I was wondering about something...
I know about the risk of creating antibiotic resistant strains
of bacteria by not using antibiotics properly, but if I see no
improvement in Newton after using Baytril for 4 or 5 days
would it be safe to say her problem isn't infectious and I
would be able to stop using it? Or should it be continued for
the 2 weeks regardless?
