Enrofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone with a broad spectrum of antibacterial activity against gram-negative bacteria, some gram-positive bacteria and mycoplasma species (Walker, 2000). Bacterial infections are prevalent in ostriches and can cause significant morbidity and death, particularly in young animals. Enteric infections occur commonly in ostrich chicks. Pathogenic organisms frequently cultured from cases of enteritis include Clostridium spp., Escherichia coli, Campylobacter spp. and Proteus spp. Enrofloxacin exerts activity against the most significant pathogens in ostriches, including those resistant to b-lactams, tetracyclines, aminoglycosides and macrolides (Shane, 1998).
