: Not always a good idea to heat them up when they are sick..that is not really going to do much IMHO. I think it's best to keep temperatures regular and stable as they should be for a redfoot, keep a good humidity level, and make sure you soak daily during the medication part of the treatment...Baytril is a good, safe antibiotic, however, mostly I hear of injectible Baytril, not oral...might want to poll the rest of the board on this one...

Most Baytril in mammals is given orally via tablets. From what I've read, the effectiveness is just as good or nearly as good orally as injected. Baytril is problematic as an injectable. Large amounts can cause local tissue damage and/or necrosis (>1cc at a site). It is no longer recommended that small animals receive more than one or two injections of Baytril - after the first injection the remainder of the series should be given orally.
