Slight head rocking up and down at rest.

So took Rosie to vet Tuesday evening and she checked her over very thoroughly regarding her snoring and vet said no signs of any discharge or snuffles but the upper respiratory area was very slightly rattly. She gave her some Baytril for a week 0.4ml. Once a day 10% solution and I have to say it has helped the wheezing and snoring loads so something must have been going on. Thing is Rosie is still doing a lot of stretched out lying down -not belly pressing. She does appear to be relaxed but every time she breathes out her head moves up about 1cm in time with her out breath. This happens every time she is lying down / relaxing and is a constant thing when lying down. She is eating well and pooping well and even binkying in the garden but she is defo resting and lying stretched out more. I don't know is it age ?? Or is something wrong. Or do I have to give baytril more time ??I Don't want to put her under for X-ray unnecessarily . Update. After her Baytril this evening she is a lot perkier and more running about. All 3 buns r a bit more sedate actually overall. It's just this slight head rocking thing which is worrying me. Anyone else notice this in their buns ??

The Baytril is for 7 days. Should it be longer do u think ?? Oh and yes it was the specialist. Thanks for those links Might max will read when i get home from work.

Jane i watched her eatting her pellets this morning and defo no eye bulging. I assume that's good ? Her breathing has improved a lot since the baytril so i don't think it's strained now. Rosie alwsys would have done a subtle rocking when relaxed but maybe with the wheezing and snoring it just made it worse? And then i am just reading into it more. The rocking has improved also very slight now. I think I will give e the meds a few more days as there is improvement. But yes Jane i agree i would take her when she is in good form if i had to and not wait til she got worse. But as she is otherwise good i will wait as she had the stress of the long vet trip and each evening i have to burrito her for her meds which stresses her so i don't want to annoy her too much but will keep a close eye.. Hope that sounds ok. Thanks Jane and Might Max for ur replies. Always appreciated.
