Default What is the Baytril dosage for a syrian?

I wanted to ask you guys what dosage of Baytril you normally give to your syrian hams? I just want to be prepared incase Boris ever requires it. I`ve read a few members` posts which say that they administer 0.1ml for a 1ml syringe neat, but does this depend on the size/weight of the hamster? The average dosage for a mouse is 0.02ml twice a day (I`m used to dosing mice and not hamsters!)

I also found a list of safe and non-safe antibiotics for hamsters, but Baytril is usually the drug of choice by many vets normally unless they feel a different drug is necessary.

So would the 0.1ml sound about right for an average adult male syrian? And do they tend to lap it up if it`s mixed into soft food, or is it best just to swab the hamster and give it neat?
