Hi again, I just wanted to write a bit of an update on my hammy. He has had 2 courses of Baytril and is sneezing less than he used to. Currently, it seems that it could be caused by allergies rather than a cold. I've initially suspected that Carefresh might have contributed, so have cleaned his cage (a bit earlier than I would have wanted to otherwise) and changed his bedding (into a mixture of hemp and paper-based Kaytee C&C). While cleaning his cage, I've noticed that I was sneezing due to the hemp bedding (although it doesn't appear to be dusty, but it still has a rather strong smell), therefore I've ordered some Fitch bedding. It arrived today. I think I'll change his bedding again in the next few days. I'll keep his house and toys the way they are, so it still smells familiar to him (and hopefully makes the whole experience less stressful).

Thank you for your replies previously cypher and Drago, I really appreciate them!
