Mouth Infection Questions

[Hadeesh]

So for about a little under a week my Steve hasn't been eating a lot. I also noticed that he has had a bigger accumulation of saliva in his mouth. Today I brought him to the vet, and she said that he has a mouth infection. She prescribed me Baytril and sent me on my way.

So my questions are, does Baytril work? And also, what can cause a mouth infection?

After the first dose, doesnt seem to be much change. His mouth still looks swollen and he hasnt eaten. Still drinking fine though. Tomorrow is his next dose, ill stay updated.

One dose will not make a difference. Baytril is often used, but from what I've read on here you really need to make sure your Cham is hydrated,drinking well.
It can also affect appetite.
