Mild Pneumonia

[Olive]

Hi, I am caring for a 6 week old grey squirrel. She gulped her Fox Valley formula through a miracle nipple last night and has mild clicking today. I have Baytil (50 mg/ml) and wanted to know if 5 mg/kg is an adequate dose to give. I also would like to know if it should be given once or twice daily and for how many days? She is .17 kg (170 grams).

Not a med person, so I'm not help. Stay on the board for a bit and keep refreshing your post. I'm sure someone with experience will be along to help you soon.

Hi, Please do not dose until you gave exact dosing amounts . I can calculate exact dosing for you for 170g squirrel. Hang on, I need to get home to get my dosing guides.

Dosing sent. How old is this Cipro solution?

The compounded Baytril is fresh (doesn’t expire until 1/18). It is specially compounded for animals
