I would recommend discussing further with the vet. Second opinions without discussing the first aren’t a good idea.

The formulary normal for baytril is 5-10mg/kg. The undiluted dosage for therapeutic treatment at 2.5% would be .01 ml per dose. Based on the prescribed dosage, the vet has diluted it by 10 parts at 5mg/Kg.

I AM NOT A VET, this is not medical advice. That being said, the vet is likely taking a conservative approach because Baytril can be tough on the kidneys.
