Just got a call - lady has 3 furred eyes closed greys - 1 has a broke leg - I am meeting the lady in about an hour - I am going to give her Fox Valley (she was out) she is a former rehabber but has not done it for many years - she is going to take care of them until I can find someone else to take care of them - I can't do it at this time (had some minor surgery)

anyway - I have Metacam 1.5 mg/ml suspension
and Tramadol 50 mg (pill)
and Infants Advil

she is getting me a weight on the squirrel - but can someone send me a PM with approx dosage according to weight - or I can wait until I meet her to get a weight and then call her back with correct dosage

Thanks - I need info asap

Yes - I need help - Jackie

she says squirrel weighs 3oz - so that would be 85 grams (is that right?)

Thank you - I am meeting her in about 15 min
