    Default Dosage for Baytril

    Can someone give me the dosage per gram for Baytril. I'm pretty sure my winter over baby has a bladder infection. All I have on hand is 20mg Baytril.
    Thanks

    What mg pill does she have and what is the weight on the squirrel?
    What does she need to dose Baytril for?

    probably a UTI, found baby with very swollen penis, scabby end, was very nasty with drainage... slowly getting better with ointment. I don't know his weight... recently opened his eyes... I will upload a pic.

    He will back up and they can become systemically ill from retained toxins.
    This is NOT good.
    Tell her to soak in warm water and GENTLY keep picking
    at the scab.
    Keep repeating. If he cries out, keep soaking and trying to get
    that scab OFF.
    Does he have siblings with him that are sucking him, or is
    this self sucking?
    THIS SCAB NEEDS TO COME OFF NOW.
    Go gently and have patience, we don't want to hurt this little
    one anymore than he has to be hurting now.

    Yes! get the scab off, keep it clean and keep applying ointment.
    Do you (she) know if this one has been able to pass any urine at all?

    Ok, My friend Christina doesn't think this a scab. The baby wasn't able to pass urine the first day except a dribble or two, but she also thinks he was dehydrated. But now he is peeing, but the color doesnt look good. He is taking formula, this is not her first rescue, she has raised 4 other squirrels and 2 opossums. The baby is also bleeding from the nose from the fall, but not excessively. She is concerned that picking at it might make it worse. She is soaking the tip. I was wondering if mild home made saline solution would help? I was thinking about time Years ago when i got my belly button pierced and was told to use warm saline in a shot glass and hold it against the piercing. This really helped me so.... anyway. Heres the pic.

    Thumbs up Re: Dosage for Baytril

    Update!!! She got the scab to soften off! It came loose! And he peed.. It's not all the way off but she's going to try again when he falls back asleep.

    I'm SO glad to hear this. I definitely thought that looked like a scab.

    Fantastic news.
    Please tell her that he may be self sucking and she needs to watch for that.
    Is he the only little one she has or is he in with others?
    Thanks for the great update!
