KHAs tend to leave the exact antibiotic used up to the vet doing the scrip. We'll also use Nick Saint-Erne's book as reference material (vets like that a vet wrote that book, I think).

Combination of Amikacin and Azactam (actually two different shots) is pretty common. Baytril is usually done as a first go followed by something else (Amikacin, Nuflor, etc) as a second round if Baytril didn't help. Nexcel looks promising from the description on the chart, but I don't know of anybody using it.

IF I was looking at a combination of Amikacin and Baytril I'd hit Baytril on days 1 & 2, and if no improvement I'd do combo on day 3 then day 5 and hope for best. Do one more Baytril on day 7.

However, your vet may want to bypass Baytril and go with a different combo if there is no improvement by day 4. Gotta be fluid with these things...
