Hi everyone. My quaker Louie has been was on Baytril for 10 days (2 doses daily) for a possible nasal/bacterial infection. Even after the antibiotics his nose is constantly leaking fluids (which are clear and salty...he sneezed in my mouth) and he is constantly sneezing, he is also wheezing, cannot chirp like he used to (just makes weird squeaky shrieks) and he's been closing his eyes a lot more often due to difficulty breathing.
On the plus side, his appetite is good, he is playful and flying just fine. My vet said our next step is to do a nasal flush and here are my concerns:
1) Is the nasal flush effective?
2) Should I suggest we put Louie on a stronger antibiotic such as Doxycycline?
3) I have a heater near is cage to keep him warm, I heard this is bad but I have a very drafty house and its the best option right now, are there other options?
