>>The FDA is wanting Baytril removed from the vet. market. Here is a quote from onlinelawyersource.com. It is not the only site in which I have found this information. This site was specific, but others have been not been.

>>"The FDA’s decision on Baytril is the first time that a drug used primarily for veterinary reasons has been withdrawn from the market due to antibiotic resistance and human side effects. Baytril was scheduled to be taken off the market for poultry use on September 12, 2005. Although Bayer had 60 days to appeal the decision, the ban did in fact go through. The company maintains the drug’s safety record, but says it is looking into the FDA findings."

This ban is on the use of Baytril in farm animals and, I believe, only poultry. Baytril is widely used in "companion" animals and I'm not aware of any attempt to restrict it's use there.
