The pinky male did not eat normal amounts today. I hear "click" and need to know dosage for Baytril? Weight is 25g.

Since he did not want to drink today, I am afraid that he is a little dehyrdated. If he can't breath then he can't drink so I am not sure what to do?

I hope that someone is awake tonight...

Problem is: I rec'd a pinky male last Sunday (about 1-2 weeks old). He has thrived up until yesterday.

Yesterday, his body became very thin and bony. All day he ate regularly, about 1- 1.5cc per feeding.

Today he did not want to eat at all. I tried to get him to take as many drops, as possible at each feeding. He did not eat 1cc throughtout the entire day.

Tonight, he is beginning to look more and more thin. I also hear a faint "click."

1. Weight is about 25g, Baytril dosage?
2. Can I give him anything to eat/ or drink, while he is still clicking?
3. Do I start pedialyte at next feeding, if so how much, and for how many hours?

Thank you for any help.

Hi Amanda, I'm awake, but I'm sure I'm not what you were hoping for since I don't know anything. There is current thread going on the emergency forum started by Muffinsquirrel about a pinky who is clicking and has diarrhea. The info there will help you as they discuss feeding. Subject line of the thread is "Two Foxer Babies." Good luck!
