Some chronic resp infections can take slightly longer to go away and on occasion, if it's been a particularly bad one then rarely, lung scarring can occur which can cause the clicking to continue even once the infection has cleared up. But definitely stick with the Baytril for now.
You could try changing her bedding if you think it might be an allergy to that. Is the bedding particularly dusty?

Yes, I'll definitely be sticking with it although I am just nervous. Do you ever see anything other than Baytril given for a URI?
Lung scarring... Hmm, I've never heard of that. Maybe I'll ask about it at the next visit. The infection apparently wasn't very severe and we caught it early, on the first day she was showing any symptoms.
I don't
think the bedding is dusty... It is supposed to be dust free, after all. Is paper bedding usually the way to go for allergies?
