Enroquin (Enrofloxacin Flavored Tablet) is a broad-spectrum antibiotic commonly used in veterinary medicine to treat a variety of bacterial infections in dogs and cats. The active ingredient, enrofloxacin, is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that works by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase, an enzyme crucial for bacterial DNA replication. This action prevents the bacteria from reproducing and ultimately leads to their death.
Enroquin is effective in treating infections of the skin, urinary tract, respiratory system, and soft tissues. It is commonly prescribed for conditions like pyoderma (skin infections), cystitis (bladder infections), pneumonia, and other bacterial infections in pets.
The flavored tablet formulation makes it easier for pets to take, especially those that are typically reluctant to swallow pills. The dosage is typically determined based on the pet’s weight, the type of infection, and the severity of the condition.
Like all antibiotics, it is important to complete the full course of treatment to ensure the infection is fully eradicated and to prevent the development of antibiotic resistance. Enroquin is generally well-tolerated, but side effects may include gastrointestinal upset or changes in appetite. Always consult a veterinarian for proper usage and if any adverse reactions occur.
