substance of choice.

10 mg enrofloxacin/kg bodyweight per day for 3–5 consecutive days.
Treatment for 3–5 consecutive days; for 5 consecutive days in mixed infections and
chronic progressive forms.
If no clinical improvement is achieved within 2–3 days, alternative antimicrobial
therapy should be considered based on susceptibility testing.
Always make sure that the entire dose offered has been consumed. The medicated
water should be made up fresh each day just before it is offered to the animals. The
drinking water must be medicated throughout the treatment period, and no other water
source should be available. Determine the bodyweight of the birds as accurately as
possible in order to avoid underdosing.
Use only fresh pre-solutions, prepared every day before start of treatment. Pumping
systems should be checked constantly to assure proper medication. Empty the water
system and fill it with medicated water before starting the treatment.

Do not use in cases of known hypersensitivity to the active substance, other
(fluoro)quinolones or to any of the excipients.
Do not use for prophylaxis.
Special precautions for use in animals
Official and local antimicrobial policies should be taken into account when the product
is used.
Fluoroquinolones should be reserved for the treatment of clinical conditions which
have responded poorly, or are expected to respond poorly, to other classes of
antimicrobials.
Since enrofloxacin was first authorised for use in poultry, there has been widespread
reduction in susceptibility of to fluoroquinolones and emergence of resistant
organisms. Resistance has also been reported in Mycoplasma synoviae in the EU.
Whenever possible fluoroquinolones should only be used based on susceptibility
testing.
Use of the product deviating from instructions given in the SPC may increase the
prevalence of bacteria resistant to fluoroquinolones and may decrease the
effectiveness of treatment with other fluoroquinolones due to the potential for cross
resistance.
Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal
product to animals
People with known hypersensitivity to (fluoro)quinolones should avoid contact with the
veterinary medicinal product.
Avoid skin and eye contact.
Direct contact with the skin should be avoided because of sensitisation, possible
hypersensitivity reactions and contact dermatitis.
Wear gloves for this purpose.
Rinse any splashes from skin or eyes immediately with water.
Wash hands and exposed skin after use.
Do not eat, drink or smoke whilst using the product.
