Kelly,
Baytril is an antibiotic I don't know why the vet prescribed it if the turtles had a vitamin deficiency.
But I'm not a vet, the other drug I've never heard of, maybe somebody else can help you out there.

I'm going to post at an email list and see if I can get some answers there for you.

When on baytril it's important to keep the turtles well hydrated, so lots of shallow soaks. At least once a day.

For info on avoiding problems with box turtles see the link below.
Sorry about the death of your turtle, if you don't feel comfortable with your vet maybe it's time to see a new one.

Can you tell us how the turtles are housed, substrate, temperatures, diet etc?
Terry.
