Question Baytril

Hiya
My vet has decided to give Amber some injections of baytril as i kept spotting some small occassional bubbles
Shes had one injection this morning in her leg, has to have one tomorrow morning and then another on monday.
Since having her injection today shes been quiet, not bothered about food and just sitting quietly looking around.
I gave her a bath but she wasnt in it long and was trying to get out so i got her out rather than stress her any more.
Is it normal to be quiet afer baytril?
I think shes feeling fed up

I hope she is on the mend soon.

Mine gave me real worries then turned the corner after about 5 days and now they are great.

Thanks I'm just keeping her as warm as possible
I feel awful when she's having the injection but it will be worth it
