I get Baytril in ElReno at Eischen's vetconsulting service. You should be able to get it from the vet. The small animal size is expensive, but it is really good when youdo not know just what you are dealing with. I use antibiotics as a last resort, but if I need them, I use penn and baytril if I can't really diagnose the problem. There was some rumours about Baytril being taken off the market for meat animals, but it is still used in hogs, so there is really no problem. Since this guy has had so much stress I would give him a dose of Panacur wormer for good measure. It is easy on the gut and worms really take over during stress. I found that out by accident when one had pneumonia. When I have one that is acting sick, the first thing is panacur oral..
Good luck.
