WOuld it be possible to give baytril as a sub-q injection? I don't know if it needs to be given orally to be effective for what ails her. My cat had to take baytril once and though I had no difficulty giving it to her, she would vomit it up almost precisely 1/2 hour later every time. My vet gave me syringes preloaded with the correct amount of baytril and I injected her twice daily I think it was. It was such a tiny amount it was quick and painless and there was no gastric upset.
