Your poor piggie! Well, it's possible that he just needs to have the Baytril given for longer and not stopped as quickly. But he may also need to have additional antibiotics as well. The best medicine is to take a nasal culture at the vets and send it out to see what bacteria grows and what antibiotics is best for it. but that can be expensive. If that is not possible, I would recommend probably cobining antibiotics or changing and see if it fully resolves.
