I wouldn't go to a vet that wants to prescribe antibiotics without doing a culture.
My concern is funds. I barely made the vet bill before and my roommate covered the costs afterwords. To which I used to pay bills already.

I just did a close inspection of him. Double checked his mouth. Double checked for clicking noises. He still appears healthy. (Although he has a dent in his eye... how the heck did that happen??) the clicking is very very VERY quiet. And when I was checking his mouth, it wasn't clicking when the little hole opened.

So I'm beginning to wonder if the sound is coming from somewhere else...? Could it be coming from his esophagus or his tongue sheath?
