Melissa, how old is your squirrel? I noted the weight of 413g sounds like an adult. Have you checked the teeth? A bad eye and respiratory issues are often a sign of a tooth problem.
Clarithromycin isn’t an antibiotic we use on TSB but we have dosed a closely related antibiotic
(Azithromycin). Let me study this and see if there are dosing guidelines for this. If this is tooth related it might help with an oral infection but it won’t solve the underlying cause.

There are dosing guidelines for Clarithromycin in The Rat Guide so I sent you a Private Message with dosing instructions.
