What Baytril Solution for Injection Does

Baytril Solution for Injection is a broad-spectrum antibacterial therapy formulated for use in dogs. It contains the active ingredient enrofloxacin and is designed for injectable use when oral treatments may not suffice. Because many bacterial infections in dogs affect the skin, wounds, urinary, respiratory or urogenital tracts, this solution provides a powerful option when vet-supervised treatment is needed.

Key Uses of Baytril in 

Baytril covers infections caused by bacteria susceptible to enrofloxacin in dogs. Indications include: skin and wound infections, otitis externa and media, urinary tract infections (including prostatitis), respiratory and alimentary infections, and adjunctive therapy for pyometra. The vet will determine dose and duration based on severity and breed.

Formulations and Strengths

Baytril Solution for Injection is available in multiple strengths: 25 mg/ml in 50 ml vials, 50 mg/ml in 100 ml vials and 100 mg/ml in 100 ml vials. The wide choice of strengths helps accommodate different dog weights, dosing needs and treatment durations. Each formulation maintains the same active substance (enrofloxacin) and must be used per veterinary directive.

Dosage and Administration

Administration must follow veterinary instructions precisely. Typical dosing for dogs is 5 mg enrofloxacin per kg body weight once daily by subcutaneous or intramuscular injection, for up to 5 days (depending on the infection type). Because the solution is injectable, correct handling and weighting are essential. The vet will determine route, dose and treatment length.

Precautions and Safety Information

Do not use Baytril Solution for Injection in dogs that are epileptic or have a history of seizures. Use with caution in young, growing large-breed dogs due to potential cartilage effects. Avoid use if known hypersensitivity to fluoroquinolones exists. Side-effects are uncommon but may include vomiting, diarrhoea, local injection-site reactions or, rarely, neurological signs. Always monitor and follow your vet’s advice.

Storage and Disposal

Store the solution at room temperature, below 25°C, and protect from light. Keep the vial securely sealed when not in use.
