Subject: Re: help! we left the baytril out overnight...

I don't know specifically about Baytril, but some drugs, once made
into a suspension by mixing in water, absolutely require
refrigeration. Clavamox (amoxicllin), in its powder form can be
stored for a considerable amount of time, but once mixed, will go bad
really quickly if not refrigerated.
