Hi Paul, how are you administering the baytril?

Are you just putting it on the nares or are you able to adminster it correctly orally?

Hi

Has a swab been taken to check that the bacteria will respond to Baytril?

Paul,

Is Beau, still showing signs of RNS? If so I would go and see Bairbre O' Malley as soon as possible.

Piglet showed me how to administer baytril orally which worked very well on Dug, but she had only started to show signs of RNS.
