Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

How does it look sick?
Assuming that 87 degrees is the warm end, not the entire enclosure - why are you dropping the temps at night? (I'm interested in learning your rationale before commenting)

all the heat lights go off at night and they have just the under the tank heater at night and yes that is the hot end of the tank
moved from a glass tank to a neo tank they hold humidity better as i dont have a snake rack
when i take her out and listen to the breathing every now and then i hear what sounds to be a wheeze and she opens her mouth up from time to time and like to rub her head on things

She could have dry shed in her nostrils if she's rubbing and making sounds. She could also be sick.
Night time drops are just adding additional stress.
None of my balls are active during the day so I wouldn't consider that a good sign. Do you have a hide near the hot spot or does she have to go out in the open to get heat during the day? This could be adding more stress.
The more stress you add, the less likely she will get better.
I would lose the heat lamp and put the heat pad on a thermostat if it's able to keep the hot spot around 90. Checking your cool side is just as important. Just because your hotspot is 80 at night, doesn't mean the cool end isn't 68, which isn't good.

As for the Baytril, was it prescribed by the vet, because they should have told you the proper dosage. I would start immediately but the RI will most likely return if you don't address the problem that caused it.

Sorry, I think I may have worded the heat lamp thing wrong. There isn't really much of a problem with them other than the fact that they don't supply heat at night. If you wanted to use it, another solution would be to get a second lamp with a night time heat bulb that kicks on when the day bulb kicks off.

No offense, but just because you have Baytril doesn't mean that you should use it without consulting a vet. At best you could be dosing a snake that you don't need to be and at worst you could be dosing a snake with an inappropriate medication.

I wouldn't treat with the baytril. Weight for weight, I doubt you'll have enough to treat the snake, yet alone the snake and dragon.
