Baytril should be dosed once daily (Meinen et al. (1995) (Ref 185)), typically over a period of 5-7 days although may be extended to 10 days. As with all antibiotics, ALWAYS complete the course to minimise the chance of bacterial immunity to the drug developing.

Meloxicam should be dosed once daily, for no more than 10 days due to the risk of kidney damage. The initial (first) dose can be effectively doubled.
