My female went in the vet for odd urine dribbles all over the cage and it cleared up over night though so we think it was just a kidney stone and she's fine now with that, I mentioned her sneezing a lot and it got worse the next day. She did not have matted fur or a bad runny nose, but I found one booger that was clear to a little cloudy on her head, not yellow or green just cloudy.
She sneezes on an off and that's normal but I knew this was more then she normally does, the vet gave me baytril cherry flavor for 10 days and the 10 days are up, she said to call back if it doesn't seem better to extend the dose. The meds seemed to have helped a lot in the amount of sneezing because it cleared up at first but returned to a mild sneeze fit here and there after 4 days into treatment. I notice it more at night and morning...sometimes when eating then sometimes not, it's like shes got congestion but there's no discharge from her nose.
I run a HEPA filter, I vaccum, I keep the room clean, she gets a antihistamine 1/8 from 4mg pill recommenced from the doctor since it's pollen season here. Since the baytril seemed to have improved does it just mean she needs a longer treatment? I just want to get your guys opinion on this..
I thought that if it was snuffles my male she's bonded with would have caught this infection by now, the vet said not to remove him or it could stress her so I didn't. He's been by her side since face to face, sharing water, food, and grooming. Would he have caught it by now or is his immune system just that good? Maybe she has allergies and got a respiratory infection but is back to normal allergy sneezing :\?
small edit - Actually she sneezed a yellow booger out tonight so yea she's sick with something in her respitory system, how long can it take sometimes to clear it up with antibiotics? The vet also mentioned a bit back if nothing worked that we would check her molar roots in an xray.
