question about sneezing

Young Bun
Hi, i know a lot of threads are out there about sneezing/snuffles, but my bunny tommy is sneezing with no discharge or other symptoms. i took him to the vet and she prescribed baytril for 2 weeks. its been 1 week exactly and the sneezing seems to be a little more than before. i read in other threads that the baytril doesnt always work...since its been a week does this probobly indicte that it wont work, or is there still a good chance it will work by the end of 2 weeks? also, my other rabbit don juan has mites (this is like the 5th time) and i was wondering if i can just use the shampoo or do i need to take him into the vet for the injection? it seems like since my beloved bun michelle passed my other two bunnies are popping up with all these problems. im so stressed right now!!
 
respiratory problems in rabbits can often require a prolonged course of antibiotics and if not treated can become serious. i would take him back for a longer course of antibiotics.

if mites are a problem and the shampoo just isnt clearing it (shampoo just treats the lice on the animal at the time....not the eggs or those in the bedding/hutch etc) you could try a 'spot on' type treatments specifically for rabbits or a course of ivermectin injections would be available via your vet
