hi. received group 3 4 wk old babies 4 days ago, littlest girl turns out to have aspiration pneumonia, people didnt know that the bubbles coming out the nose was bad and to turn them upside down to drain etc...wasn't sure when i first got them, had never heard it before . called my vet and got script for amoxicillin and clav 0.05 ml ,2x a day started yesterday. she was also severely dehydrated and i started rehydrating with pedialyte also yesterday around 9:30 am fluids every 2 hours she has been taking in 3-4 cc each time. sounds a little better today and acth
ing better but has diarrhea as aside effect of antibiotics. i have been rehydrating for 24 hours, how long should i continue to rehydrate or should i start giving her diluted formula now? i don;t want to make her go backwards. also should i give her yogurt for the diarheaand if so how much . i know you are not supposed to mike the rehdration with the feeding so any information would be highly appreciated . i am a licensed rehabber but this is only my second time rehabbing baby squirrels . my first bunch i had from the get go and they didn't have any problems. thank you in advance!!:thankyou
