UTI

[Hunnybunny]

I have a 5 year old grey showing signs of UTI. No vets in area will treat. What can I do to help her ?

If this IS a UTI, you need antibiotics. Check your medicine cabinet, call friends and family and see if anyone has any leftover meds from illnesses in the family. These do not have to be vet meds - we can help you properly dilute and dose them. Get a list with the drug name and the size of the pill in milligrams and come back here with them. Excellent choices would be Cipro, Amoxicillin Clavulanate (brand name is Augmentin), SMZ-TMP, but other things may work as well.

You will need a 1ml syringe without a needle but with clear markings on it (they rub off the barrel of the syringe with repeated use). We will also need his weight.

Hi Hunnybunny:
Thanks for finding The Squirrel Board! What is your Squirrel's name? Please follow the recommendations of CritterMom but I was wondering what seems to be going on with your Squirrel that suggests illness or specifically a UTI?
