It's important to monitor your dog's behavior and appetite when starting a new medication like Baytril, as some changes might be side effects of the drug.
- Loss of appetite
- Depression or lethargy
- Vomiting or diarrhea
- Potential central nervous system effects such as agitation or tremors
If your dog is experiencing any of these symptoms, it's crucial to understand that they can be related to Baytril use. While mild side effects may be common, it's essential to differentiate them from more severe reactions that require immediate attention from your veterinarian.
For any persistent or concerning symptoms, or to address any questions you may have about your dog's medication, please book a consultation with a vet.
