About 2 months ago we got 2 new mice to add to our 3 (all female). We quarantined our new mice for 4 weeks with no issues at all. After we introduced them we starting hearing one of our mice Steven showing symptoms of a resp infection. We got her meds and yesterday marks the 3rd week she’s been on them.
Through out her time being on the meds she definitely got better less audible breathing and not as much sneezing, no longer any clicking while breathing. But she consistently has had symptoms the entire time. Just a minute ago she sneezed and I could hear her breathing while she was sniffing me.
Other than those symptoms she is completely healthy. Drinking, eating, playing, interacting with us, no porphyrin, no lethargy. I’ve noticed she only seems to have symptoms right after she first wakes up. Then after she has no symptoms besides the occasional sneeze.
I keep their cage clean, it’s well ventilated, and she is living happily with the 4 other mice who have all had no symptoms and been healthy this entire time. I’m wondering do I need to take her to the vet for new meds? Or is this something that we will have to keep and eye on and manage for life?
