Is my dog's Baytril dose for pyometra effective? What about Clavamox?

Question

Hello, I couldn't quite fit my entire question here, so I attached it as photos. The abridged version is this: My 12 y/o dog with open pyometra was injected with 22.7mg/ml of Baytril & given 3 days' worth of Baytril tablets at 34mg. This was suggested as an aggressive alternative to a risky surgery due to age, but info online recommends 2.27-9.07mg/lb. She is 18.4lbs making the minimum dose 41mg a day. Could 34mg still have a positive effect; could adding Clavamox or PGF2 Alpha help? Thank you. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | unspayed | 18 lbs

Hello, sorry other about Lee. That is indeed a low dose for a Baytril prescription. I would double check with your veterinarian about the dose as perhaps it was intended to be given twice daily. Clavamox could also be administered to treat an infection either on its own or in combination with the Baytril. PGF2 Alpha is not an antibiotic and may help rid the fluid within the uterus but will not treat an infection. Hope this helps and best of luck.
