My dwarf hamster (70g) was prescribed Baytril Oral 2.5% (diluted with saline) for a possible urinary tract infection. I have been advised to give 0.1ml once daily for 7 days but my sister who is a vet nurse said it should be twice daily.
Have many of you have used this drug and if so, what dose were you advised to give?
I don't want to overdose or underdose!

Also, can you disguise it in baby food and if so, which one is safest for a dwarf hamster?

Thank you x
