[Country Heart]

The video wont show up? is there a link?

I don't see a link either.

Maybe someone could either add back the link or change the name of the thread.

Is there anything that I can give my babies when clicking without waiting on a vet and prescription? Only 1 is clicking...

What antibiotics do you have?

[carolinetrom]

How did you get the Baytril? My vet won't treat wildlife and I do not know what to do

[Spanky]

Look around for any leftover antibiotics you, ask family and friends what they may have. You will need only 1 tablet / capsule.

Cipro will work best for squirrel pneumonia and its commonly prescribed, especially for women. Once you know what antibiotics you have, create a new post in Help Needed, explain your baby is clicking and list the antibiotics you were able to locate. Someone will help with more instructions from there....

Ssrichardson28, you need to try to get an antibiotic from a friend or family that might have a leftover antibiotic. All you need is one pill. Let us know what you get and we can dose it. Ciprofloxacin would be best but we can use others. Baytril is a veterinary antibiotic that is similar to Ciprofloxacin. We can dose either human or veterinary antibiotics.

I have a 5 week old that I'm pretty sure has pneumonia. He won't eat and is so lathargic and limp. I thought he wasn't eating because I was in the transition process of milks and figured he just didn't like it but now I know something is wrong. Tomorrow is Labor Day and I'm sure the vets are all closed so if anyone in the south Florida area has the antibiotics on hand I would really appreciate that. I will come to you and pay the appropriate price.
Does anyone know how much time I have I don't hear weezing or any clicking noises
PLEASE HELP!!!

I have re-posted your plea here: http://thesquirrelboard.com/forums/s...91#post1177591

It is best not to attach to an old post, and also to put as much info as you can in the title - this will draw people close to you and who may be able to help.

Has this baby aspirated formula? Bubbles of milk come out the nose - like you when you swallow something "the wrong way"??

What you are looking for is Cipro - it is a VERY commonly prescribed antibiotic and is almost all doctors prescribe for urinary tract infections. I would immediately start contacting all of your female friends and see if you can get your hands on just ONE cipro pill. Hopefully someone near you will see this and have one.

We will need to know the size of the pill in milligrams (cipro is sold as either 250 or 500mg and we need to know which) and the weight of your baby in grams. Inexpensive scales that weigh in grams can be found easily at Walmart in the appliance department - they are used by dieters to weigh food - less than $20. If we have the size of the pill and the weight of the squirrel we can give you very specific dosing info.

I am moving your post to a new thread in the emergency forum.

Help! I have a baby about 5 weeks old (her eyes are still closed but her siblings are open). She just started making a clicking sound, not enthusiastic about eating. What do I need to do??

[Homefreesoon]

I have a baby that has this but don't have the surfurm to give him is there anything else I can give him?? I'm in Florida and we're in the middle of a hurricane so no stores are open he weight 1.6oz and he's about three weeks plz help

[Tator]

Baytril is what is used for squirrels, but I have found that amoxicillin will help, or one valley of Cipro.

[CRPSWarrior]

Unable to view video! I have a 7 week old, Eastern Grey, Male, Tre Mac, who I have had since he was approximately 10 days old. He weighs roughly 180g and has been doing very well eating and growing but he started making a clicking noise after he fell asleep tonight once he got done eating - not sure if it is aspiration pneumonia but I dont want to take the risk so looking to find which antibotics I may start him on ASAP? As well as the strength and amount and how often? FYI: He has only ever slept on fleece blankets so not worried about bedding being the culprit for clicking noise. I have some left over Amoxicllin Oral Suspension USP 400mg/5ml but not sure if animals/squirrels can take it safely PLEASE HELP! Thank You In Advance 🥰

I have found some amoxicillin 500 I need help with dosing to save this little guy, his name is trooper because that’s what he is a little trooper!! Please help us through this!!
