Default Re: snuffly with congestion and plug in scent gland?

I'd have the chest problem checked out pretty soon and hopefully get some antibiotics. We have had both Baytril and more recently Septrin for a hammy with a chest infection. The Septrin worked better and was taken more readily as it tastes nice I believe! I'm sure your vet will prescribe what he thinks best though.
I would show the vet the scent gland however it may be better to wait a bit to try and clear it until she is better with the chest thing as trying to do it just now will be stressful. It often needs quite a bit of squeezing unfortunately. It there is a bit if infection hopefully the antibiotics will help that too.
