5-7 week old acting like pneumonia

[Mysticvisions]

I have an approximately 5-7 week old male grey who I just heard clicking. I could not get the pneumonia video link to play so I am not positive.
I do have the following antibiotics.
BActrim dS tablet
ciproflaxin hcl 500 mg tablet

Could someone please email instructions/amounts to save this little guy. I was told by his previous caregiver he did aspirate but it would have been about two weeks ago. He has been very lethargic for 4 days. Drinking pedialite and water until this morning. Now not even that and I heard the dreaded clicking.
I am more than willing to pay someone who can help save him.
Also, he was on kitten replacement milk which I read here is bad for him.
What is the best formula for him now?

[lennysmom]

The kitten replacement milk is not good for them and causes terrible digestive issues. Your local pet stores should carry the Esbilac puppy milk replacer. Please be sure to get the powdered kind because it also causes digestive issues. Here is a picture of the correct formula:

The cipro should work for the pneumonia and we can find someone to dose it for you, but you will need an accurate weight on him to properly dose it.

Like lennysmom said, we need a weight to accurately dose the cipro.
How long has this little one been drinking pedialyte and water, have you also
been giving formula as well?

ques96 offered to meet you halfway to get this little one, are you working this out with her?

I have baby boy. He is very malnurished. Mysticvisions got this kid from someone else that was feeding kitten formula...ugh. Baby has the poos and apparently had a seizure two days ago. I have fed him three times and I am seeing signs of petite seizure activity. His little bum is so raw. He is getting diluted formula and got a dose of Clavamox. Waiting to see what the little pauses do tomorrow. I hope with diet improvement it will stop or I will start on phenobarbitol.

Poor little monkey.
Thank God you have him now.
What formula are you using?
Are you seeing any problems with Esbilac?

[crazy4squirrels]

I am using Esbilac. I have not had any problems.
I have named this tiny guy Nugget. He is 70 grams, very small for his age. I am feeding him every three hours. He is taking 6ccs and his poo is starting to firm up. His little bottom and penis are scalded from having diarrhea. He is a little cutie:Love_Icon
