Hello!

Could anyone possibly assist me with dosing Infants Drops Motrin (50mg/1.25ml)? I've got an adult squirrel with a vet visit scheduled tomorrow morning and I was hoping to give him some medicine to help him cope with pain until then.

Dosing sent in a PM.

Note: Ibuprofen (NSAIDs) should not be given in conjunction with steroids... make the vet aware he has had Ibuprofen. Any steroids should be administered 24 hours after the previous dose of ibuprofen was given.

THANK YOU for including the info about steroids. He has been on Prednisolone Syrup for the past few days. I'll hold off on giving him the motrin for now. I'll talk to Dr. Emerson about it tomorrow. Thank you!!
