Antibiotics

How long do antibiotics take to work in an axolotl?

What are you using, did you consult a vet, and what is it for?

Hi my axolotl was floating a little. I posted a photo and you thought it looked bloated so I took him to a vet last night and was given baytril 2.5% oral I have to put him in a tub with it in his water for 5 hours a day. He wasn't eating either and hadn't for 9 days he hasn't pooped either. The vet had a good look at him and said there was a little mass by his back end that he wasn't happy about and some reddening on the underside of his tail I have to phone him on Friday to tell him how he is going and he will decide if he is going to give him an ultrasound just wondered how soon I might see an improvement if I was going to.thanks again fir all your help .

Antibiotics usually start to work in 2 or 3 days. Good luck, I hope you get him sorted.

Depending on the situation it can take up to a week to see really visible signs of improvement. So are you administering this orally?
