If that is what the vet has prescribed I would stick with it. Sometimes an extended course of antibiotics is needed if things have improved but not quite 100% (I work in a vets so do see this happen from time to time) Obviously after she's finished this next course, if things still aren't sorted then perhaps see if there's another vet at the clinic that you can talk to for a second opinion but I'd go with your current vets advice for now.

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?
