Does anyone know if Baytril, metacam and xeno450 are all safe to take together ?
Baytril and xeno450?
- Thread starter Honey&maple
- Start date
I have never heard that there is an issue with using baytril and ivermectin at the same time. (It’s certainly fine to use baytril and metacam at the same time and fine to use metacam and ivermectin at the same time).
However, As I know you were dosing ivermectin according to what the rescue told you (which turned out to be different to what the packaging said to do), rather than it having been discussed with a vet, did you discuss with the vet before switching to xeno 450?
I know you didn’t know about when to give the doses or the weight of the new piggy?
Has all that been resolved with the vet?
If not, then please notify your vet the background of the ivermectin usage before continuing.
Did you find out their weights particularly that of the new piggy?

No i bought the xeno 450 online and used it 2 days before I noticed the abscess. So they are going to be due another treatment soon .She may be off the antibiotics before the treatment but yeah I may have to ask the vet. I did mention i used it(I wanted to find out if it made the abscess worse) and he didn’t say not to do it again but I didn’t specifically ask the question I forgot lol.

Yeah I have sorted all the xeno450 stuff out and got their weights . They are 1.28kg and 1.22kg so they are both able to have a full pippete of it . The new piggies fur seems to be growing back now so it’s looking promising . Just got to do another treatment to make sure. My original girl seems okay but want to treat her as well but unsure with the abscess and the antibiocits reacting .
Please speak to your vet about giving ivermectin to your other pig - as I say, I’ve not heard of any issues issues but the prescribing vet is the one who needs to confirm all meds.
