    Default pneumonia please help URGENT

    Good morning! I have 2 baby squirrels that are roughly 5 weeks old that have possible pneumonia. One is 81 grams and the other is 86 grams in weight. I have 875 mg of amoxicillin that I can give to them. Is this a good option or is there a different type of medicine that I should use? Also what should the dosage be? Any other advice or help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! Also one is worse than the other. She is gasping for breathe.

    The best meds for AP are Baytril (animal)/cipro (human) or Clavamox (animal)/Augmentin (human).

    If you can find one of these let us know otherwise we’ll work with amoxicillin.

    I sent you a pm with dosing for amoxicillin so disregard it. I will work up the dosing for augmentin. Hang tight.
