question, not that my babies are sick, but can you sub out baytril for tylan?

Baytril is an antibiotic, and do you mean Tylenol?
If so, tylenol is a pain reliever. But we never give that to squirrels.
BUT you can give squirrels infant ibuprofen, it's dosed by their weight.

No, not tylenol, and I would never
It's called Tylan, and it's sold at Tractor Supply Companies, and it's also an AB for respiratory. Anyone know anything about it for squirrels?

Tylan is the brand name for tylosin related to erythromycin, clarithromycin, and azithromycin.
It's known as an antibiotic that belongs to the macrolide class, better known as treatment for colitis and chronic diarrhea.
Tylan is made up of Streptomyces fradiae, which is a bacterium. It contains anti- inflammatory properties and acts as a soothing agent for the large intestine and is mainly used for managing diarrhea and normal gut bacteria when it's been disrupted by the use of antimicrobial administration.

It is not listed among WMB's antibiotic/antimicrobials reference guide.

Would squirrels that have pneumonia throw up?

Not likely. Vomiting is almost always a sign of some toxin having been ingested -- either in their food or some household object they got into and chewed on..

Unless it is accompanied by NO POOP. Vomiting with no poop is usually an intestinal blockage of some kind.

I wish there was a way for me to find out what it was? We were always so careful.. He was only ever allowed out in one room, which has no chemicals in there because that is the room we have our ferrets cage in and they get into everything.. Could it have been like a bad acorn? (not sure if thats possible but i saw the other post about how chestnuts can be bad0.
