Talk to your veterinarian about what type of outcome is expected. Have your veterinarian explain the other treatment options that may be available to treat your pet's condition.

Tell your veterinarian if your pet could be pregnant or is used for breeding.

Notify your veterinarian of any other medications or supplements your pet is taking. Also if your pet has had any reactions to previous medications, especially antibiotics or sulfa drugs.

If you miss a dose, apply it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the application you missed and go back to the regular schedule. Do not give two doses at once.

Baytril Otic should only be used after the ear has been examined by a veterinarian to assure the eardrum is not perforated. If symptoms persist after several days of treatment or the ear appears more red, contact your veterinarian.

Do not use in animals hypersensitive (allergic) to it or other quinolone antibiotics and/or sulfonamides. May cause problems in the development of bones/joints of young growing animals, including large breeds of dogs under 24 months. Only use in growing animals, if under the supervision of a veterinarian. Use with caution in animals with central nervous system (CNS) disorders, such as epilepsy, as it could possibly cause seizures. It should not be used in animals with a perforated eardrum. The safe use of Baytril Otic in pregnant, lactating (nursing mothers), or breeding animals has not been evaluated.

May see hearing loss, vestibular (balance) disorders, or increased redness of the ear. If so, discontinue use and contact your veterinarian.

Store upright, at a temperature between 40-77°F, protected from light. Keep out of reach of children and pets.

If you know or suspect your pet has had an overdose, contact your veterinarian immediately.
