 Need advice on respiratory infection

i have an 07’ hybino bull that has had a rasp since i got her, aprox. 5 months ago. it turned from a rasp to visible signs of mucus. i have taken her the vet and gotten it confirmed that it is a r.i. the doc has given me 2 different antibiotics, baytrill and amakacin. i gave them both to her by inter musculatory injections every 48 hours, 0.02 ml each. the baytrill was the first, and when that didn’t clear it up after a month and a half, we started her on the amakacin. it doesn’t seem to be clearing up with the help of it either.
i put a second heating pad under her cage, so as to raise the temps to upper 80’s to 90 in the entire cage as prescribed. i also took her off of aspen bedding and have her on paper towels, in case she was allergic to the dust from the bedding.
she still is eating great, 2 f/t fuzzies a week. she isn’t quite as active as i would like her to be , but she is not too weak. she still is blowing bubbles and mucas coming out of her mouth, not massive amounts, but always there.
i’ve been trying everything i can think of, and the doc seems to be just guessing. does anyone have any advice????? i would sure appreciate it. i really like the snake but am running up some hefty vet bills with no results. thanks.....

Was it Baytril? No violation of TOS here naming it.
