Young dogs who are still growing (up to 24 months) can experience growth abnormalities if Baytril is given. Animals with central nervous system (CNS) disorders, such as epilepsy, should be given Baytril cautiously; discuss risks with your veterinarian if your pet has a CNS disorder. Tell your veterinarian if your pet's eardrum is perforated. The safety in pregnant, lactating or breeding animals is unknown.
