38g baby, he's clicking. Finder gave him fluids all day yesterday before finding help. I have a 250mg clavamox. Is that okay to use? Can someone please send me the dosing?

Re: Baby with AP
Meds are in him... he's not doing well at all. We've kept him warm and I didn't aspirate him. I'm wondering if this is from the gatorade he was given all day yesterday. His poop looks bad this morning. Almost like there's blood in it??

Re: Baby with AP
The lady told me yesterday that he was barely breathing when she went to get him after leaving him outside for hours. He was found in the driveway soaking wet and on the wet ground. He was never dried off or anything, just moved to another spot in the hopes that the mother would come get him.
Now he's clicking, has this horrible orange/red poop and his breathing is so weak it's hard to even tell if he's breathing. What else can we do???

Re: Baby with AP
Is it as sticky as it looks? Does it smell?

Re: Baby with AP
Very sticky, no smell to it. He's dying, I don't know what else to do for him.

Re: Baby with AP
Don't give up yet
I wonder if a bit of nutrical or something sweet would peak his interest and give him a bit of a kick start energy wise?
I did a search for orange poops, but didn't find anything helpful. I wonder if it's because of all the crap in the Gatorade. Dye, tons of sugar..

Re: Baby with AP
You're right he's in bad shape Sara.....I would snuggle him close to my heart...with a rice buddy to keep him extra warm....try to get the AB's in him... I feared he had aspirated when you saw the Gatorade still coming out of his mouth last night and to top it off blood in his nose ...they fed him while he was cold and lifelessI never give up till it's over...they are amazing healers
I do worry a lot about the poop....I can't imagine that came from one day of Gatorade....more than likely an injury
let's hope blood got into his digestive tract from the nose bleed (probably lungs too
) and it's coming out now. Just give him your love and comfort (plus AB's) and we will all pray for the sweet lil guy
take comfort in that

Oh no Sara, I'm so very sorry.

Re: Baby with AP
This has really torn me up. Of all the time this little one could've been brought to me, it had to happen just days after finding out TW doesn't qualify for surgery. I've been a crying mess all week and I'm stressing trying to find someone else to give me a second opinion. It's been an emotional and exhausting week. Losing this little one has absolutely crushed me. He was my 5th squirrel and I lost him. I had him for a little over 12 hours and I'm crying like I just lost my best friend. I don't understand why I am reacting this way and feeling what I feel, how do you guys do it??? How do you survive the loss of these precious babies?
This little guy would wag his tail. I've never seen that before. When I was holding him last night and I rubbed his little head and back he would wag that tail like a dog would. He ate and he would wag that tail. My youngest was laughing about it and talking about how funny it looked to see a bald squirrel tail wag. He was making fun of it and started calling him Twerk. My kids are gone for the day and when they find out he didn't make it, they are going to be upset. I dread tonight.
It's okay to go ahead and move this thread out of the emergency section. Rest in peace little baby angel. I miss you already.

Re: Baby with AP
That baby was given to you because he needed an angel to see him home. He needed more than someone to try and undo damage done to his little body, he needed a heart to love him and a loving soul to mourn his short life. There is no kinder heart or loving soul than yours Sara. You did good
Sweet sleep little guy
