Baytril does help with URI's. It is very strong, though, and what gave Lucy the original diarrhea that started her IBD, so she can't get it. It works well, though. Michelle In a message dated 11/9/2006 7:59:17 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Does Baytrill help with

thanks Michelle, Polyflex is some sort of penicillin, I think. I just know my local vets and even if I go to the D/FW area, vets seem to give an injection of this for infection. It is long acting so can't be given daily, maybe every other day..They do this even before they put them on daily doses

Clavamox doesn't seem like the right thing to go back to. Someone mentioned Zithromax. Is there a atomic bomb type antibiotic? Something that just knocks the crap out of the URI, but quickly? My thought is that any new thing to her system will aggravate the IBD, so if you have to introduce

Thanks, Leslie. Frank blood (bright red blood) on the outside of stool does happen with IBD when the problem is in the lower part of the intestines, which is what she has. So occasionally, when she is having a flare-up, she gets that. Often, like this time, it is the precursor to getting
