CIPROFLOXACIN DOSAGE PLEASE HELP

[belly26]

I have a little baby, 3 weeks old and I believe she has pneumonia as she’s clicking. I have 500 MG Cipro but I don’t know the dosage. As of right now I don’t know the weight of the baby, I just bought a scale and am heading home. PLEASE PLEASE HELP

Once you are home and weigh her post her weight so we can help with dosing.

Does she have other symptoms of AP like lethargy (hard to tell with a 3 week old that always sleeps anyways) and a loss of appetite?

They almost all click some especially right after eating... it usually goes away after a few minutes (10 - 15). If there is a persistent click, especially even as they sleep then there is a good chance they have AP and should be treated.

It’s persistent clicking, she has loss of appetite as well as abnormal breathing

Please change the units on the scale to grams, there should be a button to do that. The 4 ounces is rather large for a 3 week old squirrel.

113 grams. I assume that’s how old she is based on her looks and her eyes not being open, this is a photo of her 316024

Dosing sent in a PM. (I think she may be a little older than 3 weeks, but you'll know based on the day she opens her eyes... I guess that will be in 6 days... just a WAG). :thumbsup
