3-4 wk. old clicking

[NikkiH]

I have a 3 - 4 wk. old male. Brief background- he lost his mother in the Hurricane Irene storm. I have had him about 1 day. I believe he has been without her for about 24 hours. he was wet all the way through when found. I have had him on fluids for the past 6 hours (pedialyte). I haven't noticed that he has aspirated. He has just begun taking sips consistently. He has a touchof green dihrea (sp?, sorry). He is kept warm on a heating pad and is fed about every 3 hours. He is now taking about .5 ccs of pedialyte. The last time I bought Baytril was about 3 years ago. I'm thinking it has expired by now. I have noticed a clicking. he doesn't do always, mostly when handled and appears to breath hard. again, not continuously, but he does.

Please help. What can I give him that will take the place of Baytril, if anything?

:wave123 Hi NIkkiH Welcome to TSB.
I have a few question for you! Do you have any kind of Children, or Pet Antibiotic? He could be sick from being wet and cold.
Green diarrhea is not a good sine. Have you feed any kind of formula? The Pedlight is colored, what color is it?
I think he is defiantly getting sick. Do you have a heating pad half under the container you have this little won in?

What can I give him that will take the place of Baytril, if anything?Amoxicillin or Cipro --can be given in place of Baytril...... You will need to get the Squirrels weight and We will need to know the Pill amount.

i am off to dig out my scale now. he is on pedialyte. only kind i could find is the grape. he is on a heat pad, half of home on and half off. heat pad on medium. no formula yet, he was vey dehydrated when I got him. i have AMmox in 500 mg capsules. I hope you all come back on soon. I am going to find my scale, but will be back.
