Hello. This is my first time posting here. An aquaintance gave me a baby squirrel he found on his delivery route. I received her on Friday evening. Been feeding her fox valley formula and made sure to to rehydrate her with pedialite. I have been very careful to avoid aspiration when feeding. Unfortunately she has started making the dreaded clicking noise. Started 24 hours ago and has progressively gotten worse. She weighs 175 grams and I think she is about 6 weeks old. I don't have any baytril or cipro. I do have the following: Amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium tablets 875mg/125mg, prednisone 10mg, minocycline 100 mg (expired).

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I have sent you instruction in diluting and dosing the amoxicillin clavulanate by PM. If you go to the word Notifications on the top right side of the page above the squirrels and click, you will find it.
