I he a chipmunk, apparently a juvie, not baby, with no use of ts hind legs and a small puncture wound on its side. She weighs 91gr. I have rehydrated with pedialyte- she took 5cc but that was 2 hours ago. Will rehydrate again but meanwhile I have many questions since I'm not used to chippies.

I have prednisone 5mg here - what is the dilution for the pill?

What would be the dosage for this little one?

I have Gabapentin, 50mg/ml, so the dosage would be what? Can that, instead of Tramadol, be given with Prednisone?

Not sure if she<ll take formula - Esbilac and Ultraboost ok?

I sent Prednisone and gabapentin dosing in a PM.

I am not sure the gabapentin will provide the same sort of pain relief that tramadol would. Does he seem to be in pain?

Are you treating with antibiotics at all?
