I had a mouse with a chronic respiratory infection. Antibiotics
lessened her symptoms and presumably extended her life but never
completely cured her. Eventually it got worse and worse until she
suc***bed to it. I believe that doxycycline is the preferred treatment.
It can be purchased over-the-counter as a bird antibiotic, but is hard
to find. I have seen it for sale online by companies that sell supplies
for racing pigeons.
Maybe you should also consider finding a different vet.
