antibiotics question

[mishellyshel]

My chin was diagnosed last month with a mouth infection and was giving that pink stuff (tri meth something).
After taking him to get xrays they diagnosed with malo w/severely infected mouth and gave baytril.

just wondering is the pink stuff a general antibiotic sorta like humans amoxicillian and the baytril is a stronger stuff like zithromax?

Why one over the other?

TMZ is Sulfa. It's a good broad spectrum antibiotics for most things, but when it's a heavy duty infection, they bring out the big guns, Baytril.

PS - I don't consider Zithromax to be strong, and most of the time it doesn't do anything for me.

that is what i figured. thanks. (btw zithromax tears my stomach up!)

the big problem with Baytril is that is upsets their stomach and leaves a 'bad' taste in their mouth unless you use injectable baytril. Chins often have to be hand feed for a while using baytril (by mouth). They hate the taste so much they refuse to eat

yeah and dummy me just read the bottle today and i was only supposed to give it to him ONCE a day and the other 2 meds twice a day BUT ive been giving it to him twice a day. No wonder he isnt eating. I text the Dr today and she said it wouldnt hurt him but to bump up the cisapride to every 6 - 8 hours.
