I just moved your post to it's own thread and provided you the link.
See if you can get Cipro (Human antibiotic) or Baytril (Animal antibiotic)
We will need a weight on your squirrel, AND the mg of the pill you get.

Hi,

Do you hear clicking when she breathes? Hold her close and let us know what you hear.

Baytril (Cipro) is the fastest acting AB for aspiration pneumonia. It is often prescribed for UTI's in women. See if any of your family or friends have a single pill left over? If not, Clindamycin will have to do.

We will need an accurate weight in order to help with exact dosing amounts.

Yes she started doing it last night around 800 pm so in 2 hours it will be 12 hours in counting. If I get her out of her cage she will become active not as much as she was in the past few weeks. What dose should I give her?

They will need a weight to tell you.

You will need Cipro or Baytril as mentioned above.
Also check to see if anyone has Clavamox or Augmentin
Did you find anyone that has just ONE pill?

[usarmy8807]

She weighs 66 grams she was only 30 grams when I found her at approximately 5to 5 1/2 weeks old

[usarmy8807]

No and the vet still won't help. They said put her outside and let nature work its course!

Please look for the correct antibiotic, as I am NOT sure
this one will be of much help.
