Description of Baytril
Baytril is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infection in cats and dogs. The generic name of the drug is Enrofloxacin, and it belongs to the chemical class Quinolone. It is meant only for veterinary purposes.
Baytril is available in two forms: tablets and injection. You must buy Baytril only as per the instructions of your veterinarian. The tablet is given orally.
