Re: [Felvtalk] day 9 of baytril
Yes Baytril of for the UTI not the FelV, and it would be scary using Baytril for that long when you read about cats going blind. Why don't you compromise and finish up the ten days, and if the UTI returns ask the vet for an alternative drug. I used Clavamox for one of my cats with a UTI.

Re: [Felvtalk] day 9 of baytril
Frankie did go blind. He had lots of baytril as a kitten when the vet was treating asthma as an URI. It's the high doses that are the concern. You might do a google search. My vet tells me he had the lower doses but he had repeated doses. His blindness could be the baytril or genetic. No one can tell me for sure.

Re: [Felvtalk] day 9 of baytril
OK, what is your name and what is your cat;s name. It helps me keep people straight. You will want to bookmark this site http://www.marvistavet.com/html/enrofloxacin.html This is was it says about Baytril and blindness. "Retinal damage has been seen in cats when higher doses (such as might be used to treat a Pseudomonas ear infection) are used. This reaction is not common even with very high doses, but there is no way to predict which cats will react. Blindness, temporary or permanent, can result. This reaction has only been reported with enrofloxacin and not with other fluoroquinolones, as it is theorized that the biochemical structure of enrofloxacin leads to especially high concentrations in the feline eye (in other words, this reaction is theoretically possible with any fluoroquinolones but enrofloxacin is especially predisposed to causing this reaction)." Yes blindness has occurred but in very high doses. That is not what you are dealing with.

[Felvtalk] day 9 of baytril
hi, me again... i know you can't believe everything you read on the internet but i have read from several sources regarding b aytril can cause blindness. one person mention it will after 10 days. my vet has my cat on it. he gave me 4 ml and the dose is .3ml so that is nearly 2 weeks. i called the office and they said just give it to him until its gone. i called my regular vet who's office apparently has been told not they can not give an opinion that would be opposing another vet. any idea here? today (friday) is the 9th day he has been on the medicine - at least here. he may have been on it the 3 days he was at the vet, i don't know. the office person is suppose to get back to me to me as to whether our vet does the LTCI. the vet who treated the cat does not. anyone know of a good vet that does in the long beach california area? i don't drive freeways, i hardly drive at all so it basically has to be in long beach or within a few miles of long beach. and i guess the baytril is for the uti and not the felv. ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
