Hi,

I have a squirrel that is approximately 3-4 weeks old, he is still pink with black on his head and nose. I noticed yesterday he has been making a clicking noise when breathing and today his appetite has decreased. I have cipro antibiotics but I don't know what dose to use. They are 250mg tablets but I'm not sure how to dose this. I shaved off a small amount and mixed it with water. But I don't know if he even got any of the medication. Does anyone have a correct dose or advice on what to do?

Yes I will write this up but we dose by weight.
Do you have a weight on this little one in grams?
Do you have a 1 mL syringe?

Answer these first, then I can write up how to dose.
