Baytril and doxycycline are not the same thing. Doxycycline is known to cause GI upset. Baytril is also known as Enrofloxacin and is a fluoroquinolone.

Odd... Well google has proved itself useless during these times XD however thank God we have multiple people with more information on medication names. I honestly think there are too many names a single medication is called. It makes me nervous. Nursaemaia isn't there a certain type of med that is neither of these that is a recommended antibiotic for respitory stuff?

Do you know anything about doxycycline? I'm prescribed .02 mL daily as of now. Just started on Monday so today was day 3

That I don't know. I haven't had to deal with a URI in any of my chams, I've been lucky.
I do think doxycycline is a better choice over the Baytril. It does cause upset stomach and vomiting but those side effects do subside after a few doses. plus it's a good antibiotic imo.

I would suggest if you continue to use doxycycline, to maybe lay off of large meals, perhaps feed maybe three crickets at most and one worm depending on the species of worm. Make sure she is well hydrated. And I mean hydrated like, giving her a warm shower in the shower at least two times a week when you can. For thirty minutes. Mist her as usual but make one of those misting sessions longer than you would. Say if you did it for 2 minutes increase to 5.

Right now I'm misting at 7 am 10 am 1 pm and 5 pm. 5 minutes on the early 2 and 8 minutes on the later 2

I would switch the timing to the longer mists in the middle misting so during 10am and 1pm, then the other two should be the 5 minute ones. I would change the 10am one to 10 minutes. It will help.
