I have a 4 week old female grey squirrel who weighs 120 grams. She’s acting lethargic, not wanting to eat (it’s been 12 hrs now!) and is sneezing. I can’t tell if she’s clicking in her lungs or if she’s making mouth noises. Can I start antibiotics? And if so, what’s the dosage? I have amoxicillin clavulanate 875mg tablets, Cephalexin 500mg tablets, or penicillin 500mg tablets. I’m keeping her warm and hydrated. Please help!
