Hello there,
I'm really sorry to hear that your dog isn't eating or drinking much since starting enrofloxacin. It’s not uncommon for medications to sometimes cause side effects like a reduced appetite or mild gastrointestinal upset. While enrofloxacin is usually well-tolerated, some pets can have a sensitive reaction to it, leading to the symptoms you're describing.
In the meantime, try enticing your dog with some baby food or plain boiled chicken, something bland yet appetizing, and make sure fresh water is available at all times. Ensure a calm environment during feeding, free of stress.
Watch for any signs of more serious issues, like vomiting, diarrhea, severe lethargy, or if the decrease in appetite persists for more than 48 hours. If your dog seems dehydrated (dry gums, lethargy, sunken eyes) or shows any severe symptoms, it’s important to seek veterinary attention promptly.
Even if you don't notice these signs, it’s always a good idea to discuss any concerns with a vet. Feel free to book a video consult with one of our experienced vets on Dial A Vet. They can provide more personalized advice and help ensure your furry friend feels better soon.
Take care!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
