What is the milligrams of the Augmentin?
Do you have a 1cc syringe to dose with?

It is regular 500-125mg tablets, I can ground part of one up & add the powder to the goat milk mixture that he loves… will that be okay & do you know how much to grind up ? Yes I have the 1cc syringe with nipple!

That is an incorrect and dangerous way to administer an ab to a squirrel, it needs to be diluted then dosed (by liquid) according to the proper milligrams for a squirrel's use.
I can instruct that for you, how / what will you be dosing with is the question?

That’s why I’m asking for help😢… How do you recommend diluting it and administering per his 35g weight, orally using the 1cc syringe ? How do I dose the correct amount ?
