Advice for snuffles please

Hi There

Weve got two bunnies one dwarf, one lop. They have both had terrible snuffles recently. Weve tken them to the vets who have prescribed baytril. The lop has recovered and although still a little 'creaky' sounding, is eating well and seems much better in himself.

We took them both to the vets last week again, and the vet has left flop the lop eared off the antibiotics but prescribed a longer course for our dwarf bunny. She still isnt getting better and i'm concerned, is there anything else we can do? Can anyone suggest anything else i could suggest for the vet to do for her? Im giving the baytril twice daily, Ive also changed bedding to just straw in case the woodshavings were irritating her nose, Im also keeping them indoors at night.

Any advice for other things we can do would be much appreciated.
