Ok...I have my Fox Valley and she really loves it. Her sniffles have shown up again, and I have no way to get Baytril until Tuesday, due to the holiday. I have Clavamox, which will be 2 weeks old tomorrow (Monday) and Cephalexin (sp?) which I can dilute down with distilled water into a weaker suspension. She is active, eating, and starting to chew. No clicking in her lungs. Am I being paranoid? Just want to keep her healthy and I know how fast they can go downhill. My vet suggested that I dilute the Cephalexin, but she admitted that she doesn't really know much about squirrels...she is just trying to help me out. If I use either med I have what dosage would you suggest. She just opened her eyes one week ago last Friday. Thank you for your help!!

ok sorry I had alarm bells ringing on the Cephalexin Bad bad messes up the GI tract and can be fatal.

Would you feel safe Pming me where you live so I can see if I can find someone near you with Baytril?

I can help you dose the Clavamox im just worried about you saying its at the 2 week mark. you will need probiodics with this as well.
