Did your vet approve of these over the counter meds? You only mentioned 2 prescription meds, Baytril and Metronidazole.

You do realize that you should check with your vet first? A lot of these over the counter meds are not approved for veterinary use, the vet can prescribe them (off label use).
Interactions could occur.

Btw: Baytril is a very effective antibiotic, however some dogs can’t tolerate it and develop GI symptoms and have to be switched to another antibiotic. If you are giving multiple meds how will you know which is causing what? Sometimes less is more.
Also, the vet tech can show you how to give a dog a pill, it only takes a minute, I am sure they will demonstrate if you ask. It’s easy, there is a trick to it. Check youtube.

Peace out.
