Aspiration Pneumonia! Please please help! Dosing needed!

[Arue1210]

I have a 5 week old baby grey squirrel that is clicking when breathing and is lethargic! I have Amox-clav 875 mg tablets. (Generic for augmentin) I have never had to do this before but I need help with dosing! I don't want her to die.

I don't know how to check messages on here as I am pretty new. But feel free to text me 573 550 7700 if you can help!

Do you have a weight? We need the weight to dose.

My friend weighed her and said a little under 4 ounces

My 4 week old grey squirrel is clicking. I am pretty sure she aspirated. I have cipro. How much do I give her and how? Please help!

[Jokev999]

Me too. Please help. Tablets are 500mg each and she's 4oz, 114g.

This is an old thread. Jokev999 and MDV379 please begin your own threads in the emergency section. I don’t due the calculations to give dosing, but others do.

You will need to post the weight of your squirrels, the type of antibiotic you have and the strength of the antibiotic for someone to calculate the dosage for you.

Once you’ve started your own threads please refresh your page and check back often for any responses.
