Hi X This is a good one. Yes, Baytril can be giving orally (tablet form or using the injectable form). It can also be giving SQ, IM, and IV. As to which route is best depends on the nature of the infection and the condition of the ferret. The injectable form can be mixed with ferretone or other oil products to hide the taste. (It taste real bad that is why your ferrets were acting like they were.) Back online, Jerry Murray, DVM [Posted in FML issue 3623]
