SMZ dosage

[Stwerrels]

I have a baby squirrel who possibly has aspiration pneumonia from the use of a larger syringe.
He is approx 6 wks old, was eating 7cc 4xdaily and weighs 3.205 oz. The SMZ I have available is SMZ/TMO 240MG.
He's now making a clicking noise and only ate half of what he usually devours this am and not himself.
Thanks!

SMZ is not the best thing for aspiration pneumonia...it's to slow.

Can you get Baytril or the human form, called Cipro? Call friends and family and those you know with animals too. Baytril is a veterinary drug and Cipro is a human equivalent.

Also, can you tell us what city or county you are in? The ONLY reason I am asking is so we can see if we have any trusted members or rehabbers in your general area, as they may have the drugs you need, which are by prescription ONLY.

Babies with pneumonia crash FAST, so finding the correct drugs needs to be your #1 priority right now...as in drop everything else you are doing at the moment and find the right drugs immediately (after you tell us what city/county you are in so we can help in your search).

EDIT: Also, if your squirrel weighs 3.205 ounces he is 90.86 grams. (meds are dosed by weight in grams)
