Baby boy--maybe 4/5 weeks old came this evening. Girl saw him fall from the sky. From the looks of him he survived a bird attack. He has bruises and scratched up places all over. He was covered in blood. Apparently his owies are not too bad but I'm worried he may have some puncture wounds. Should I start him on ABs?

the little guy to get him feeling better. (((hugs)))

Pat I would start on Clavamox or Baytril right away. Has his penis been injured?

Many prayers for this little boy:grouphug

His penis is fine but he's scratched all over, has some gouges on his belly, and may have one puncture wound on his shoulder. I can't see the wound but the fur was matted when I got him. I washed him in Vetricin and gave him a warm bath. He's had something to eat and is tucked in with three other babies just his age. Could use some help with dosing.

You know the drill Pat.
16 mLs of water.
79 grams would get 0.025 twice daily.
Probiotics 2 hours prior or after dosing.

Thanks guys. Sorry about the double post. It was getting kinda late and my brain had gone to sleep an hour or so before. This little guy is sleepy this morning--doesn't want to eat. His owies look a lot better tho. Poor little bud.
