When treated, they must be dosed accurately. This side effect is dose dependent so young nestlings should only be treated with extreme caution and obviously only when necessary.

Again, Baytril is not a good first-line treatment for respiratory infections caused by Chlamydia because while it may reduce symptoms, it is not as effective at actually clearing the organism from the body, and it causes ‘collateral damage’ by killing a lot of good bacteria.
