: I take what Mader says for a grain of salt. He often contradicts himself, not to mention he is only human and has his own individual preferences. My own vet is at least as good as Dr. Mader, and he does not seem to be fond of oral baytril. His reasoning makes sense to me, therefore I follow his reccomendation.

The fact that your own vet "does not seem to be fond of oral Baytril" is what made you proclaim that injectible is better "hands down"? Not exactly overwhelming evidence. The labeling that I outlined in the other post is exactly that. The method of delivery that the manufacturer outlines. The use of Baytril in any exotic is however "off-label" ie. not FDA approved. The method is not an "opinion" or even necessarily a preference (as far as I know) of Dr. Mader's. The formation of abscesses is widely discussed in the literature and is mentioned by the manufacturers as a potential side-effect.
