So my vet prescribed Baytril upon Max's recheck since his URI hadn't entirely cleared up with the ChlorPalm (most likely due to the fact that I couldn't manage to get him to take it twice a day.)

I'm to give him 0.03 mL by mouth once a day for 21 days (which seems like a tad too long in my opinion...) so I started by hiding it in some baby food squash yesterday.

I did it today as well and found this morning after he'd eaten the squash he started making lots of noises, blowing large bubbles out of his nose, and crying...?

Was this some kind of allergic reaction? I've been reading that leopard's are prone to allergic reactions to Baytril...

Allergic reactions usually show up the first time you use it.

Yes, I've also heard that some leopards can't take Baytril. I would assume you should contact your vet and let him know about the adverse reaction. (And I would stop administering until you hear from him)
