My rat is constantly sneezing. Can I give her Baytril and how much?

Question

I just got 2 female pet rats. The one is very active and eating however she has been constantly sneezing. I have Baytril for a sick hamster I had a week ago.. can my rat have baytril to clear up this respiratory problem? And how much? She is probably 2-3 mos? Pet's info: Exotic | Unknown - Exotic | Female | unspayed | 1 month and 27 days old

Considering that these signs could be compatible with an upper respiratory tract infection, yes you can use it, but if the signs persist despite a week course of this antibiotic a veterinary check up is absolutely needed. Dosage you can use would be 5mg/kg orally every 12 hours. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation (where you can post pictures ) if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
