Need Dosing Help!

[gunpackingrandma]

Possible odontoma. Red squirrel weighs 299 grams, four years old. Milky tear in left eye. Sneezing, sounds like a stuffy nose with some clicking sounds. Called the only Veterinarian willing to look at a Squirrel but unfortunately they are closed today. On a very good diet with Henry's Blocks with fresh vegetables and fruits. Limited nuts.

On hand I have:

Gabapentin Oral 50mg/mL

Metacam Oral 1.5 mg/mL

If these won't work, please let me know what would work so I can make some calls.

Thank you

The metacam night help pain and swelling, but what you really need is some antibiotics.
Baytril (enrofloxacin), ciprofloxacin, clavamox, amoxicillin.. etc.
Possibly some Terramycin ointment for the eye.
Enrofloxacin and Terramycin can be bought without a prescription, through pet/farm stores.

I have 500mg tablet of Amoxicillin.

Our local farm store has Terramycin in 250mg tablets. Please let me know if this will work. It's a long drive from home so need to start driving if it's a go.
Thank you!

On the way to get the Terramycin. Please give dosing information for the Terramycin and pain meds. Thank you!
