Hi there & thank you in advanced for your help. I have two 5 or 6 week old babies. One has started to show signs of aspiration pneumonia. I have some amoxicillin on hand in pill form but don’t know how to dilute and dose it right for a squirrel. I believe it is amoxicillin 875mg and calvulanic acid??? 125mg. I’ll attach a picture of the bottle as it’s in Spanish.

Please help with dilution and dosage of amoxicillin! (If this specific drug is unsafe I will wait for the baytril I am overnight shipping but I understand that time is of the essence.) I want to do the best for my baby.

The picture of the amoxicillin is not displaying. How old is this suspension / liquid?

Also, in order to dose medications we need to know the weight of the squirrel being dosed.

Hopefully this one works. The amoxicillin is in pill form. I have distilled water I just don't know how much to use. Monkey (the squirrel in need of help) is 109g

Amoxicillin and Clavulanic Acid (Augmentin) is a good drug for Aspiration Pneumonia. :thumbsup
