My vet likes to take a culture and change the drug depending on what bacteria they find. I've gotten Fortaz several times. None of these URI's were serious so I don't know how well it worked. It was sort of back before I could judge how bad they were on my own. I've heard about injectable Baytril but none of the vets I've talked to seem to have a problem with it. I've used it a few times without incident but I like to stay away from it now. I just used oral Baytril on a lizard for a general infection and it seemed to work great. He thankfully was too tiny to inject so I didn't have to try and contradict the 'doc'.

Peter: It's OK, I'll handle it. I read a book about something like this.

Brian: Are you sure it was a book? Are you sure it wasn't NOTHING?
