What's the weight of the baby and the strength of the meds?

Not experienced myself, but that will help get you info faster!

You will need Baytril, (animal ab.) Cipro (Human ab.) or Clavamox (animal) or Augmentin (human)
You could also use SMZ-TMP but it is much slower.
Did this baby aspirate?
Call around to anyone you know to see if they have any of the drugs I mentioned.

Thank you very much for your help & sorry i havent been back. My phone is the only way i have to get access for help & it doesnt connect sometimes. Anyway, the syringe i started with was awful & it got stuck in a spot & she was sucking but i was having to help & it broke loose & she got waaay too much. I cleaned her nose off & stopped feeding her & the next day she seemed to have a rattle but both of them make that sound off and on while they are climbing around on me. I got a new syringe & they both are doing great. Thank you for antibiotic info, its great to know in case we need it.

Ok guys
I need your help!!
192 gram baby fox squirrel I'm pretty sure has pneumonia. What would be the dosing for capsule amoxicillin 500mg capsule . I have that and sulfa 800mg/160mg pill.

Do you have Clavamox or Baytril?
Those would be the top choice.
Did this little one aspirate?
I will dose this through a pm for you.

I didn't think he aspirated, but wheezing nonetheless. I just have the amoxicillin and Bactrim. Please let me know asap. I appreciate it. I don't want to lose him. :Love_Icon
