Hi, I havent had a baby in awhile and dont have access to the online dosage calculator anymore. She is 5 weeks old and in bad shape. I have Baytil on hand although it expired in 2010. It says injectable on the label because I used it on a bird, but Im hoping its still okay. I will use it orally. Okay, its been awhile. I cant remember if there is a difference in the injectable and oral baytril. Isnt it the same thing? Anyway, she is 92 grams. What is the dosage she needs?

Baytril injectable can be given orally.

dose is calculated at 10mg/kg
75 grams would be 0.03cc
100 grams would be 0.04cc

Thank you! Now one more question. Is it BID for squirrels? And how long would you suggest?

Yes, BID, and at least 7 days.
