  HELP. My 3 year old male holland lop mix mouth breathing and really clogged nose. We took him to the vet Thursday and his appetite increased but his clogged nose got worse they put him on 0.3 mL of Baytril twice a day. Since his breathing is still bad should I buy Homeopet Nose relief for rabbits? Will it be safe to administer that to him as well as the antibiotics he already has? He also has urine in his underside in his fur which he usually doesn’t. The vet says he probably has a URI. Should I give the antibiotics time or start him on an additional medication? His breathing just really worried me I tried to unclog his nose but he won’t let me suck the discharge out with a syringe. PLEASE HELP. thank you

  That product is a homeopathic treatment, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s 100% safe. I would say to ask your vet before trying to use it on your bunny.
  
  As for the antibiotic, it has only been a few days. I would wait a few more (so it has been a week total). If there has been zero improvement at that time, then I would ask your vet if you can try a different antibiotic. Sometimes it just isn’t the right one and you have to try another one. It all depends on the bacteria that is causing the problem.
  
  To help with breathing, you could try steam treatment to clear his airways a little. The easiest way to do this is to run a hot shower with the bathroom door closed. Let the bathroom fill up with steam and then take your bunny into the bathroom.
