https://www.vetsurgeon.org/f/clinical-questions/24379/strep-canis-and-fluoroquinolones Had a couple of cultures come back recently (separate cases) with Strep canis, and was interested to read that fluoroquinolones were not recommended. At first I just assumed this was due to the bacteria normally being sensitive to plenty of first-lineen-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/160111?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 16 Jun 2016 11:49:14 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:e2808753-76ae-48ea-a85e-dceed81d23bcChrisBVSc<p>[quote user=&quot;Martin Atkinson&quot;]</p> <p>I&#39;ve not heard this before but we live and learn.
