    Default Urinary tract infections?

    Hello all, I am wondering what are the signs and symptoms of a urinary tract infection?

    Straining to go pee
    Odor in the urine
    Blood in urine or pink in color

    Meds will be needed.

    Is sporadic urination: not peeing all at once, but small amounts at random times, also a symptom?

    Yes.
    You will need Baytril (animal antibiotic) or Cipro (Human) OR SMZ-TMP.
    If you have the weight and the mg of ONE pill we can dose it for you, unless
    you have a vet that can help.

    Sorry for the repeated question, but I havent got a responce in a while.

    Can anyone suggest where the best place is to buy the antibiotics?

    Also, how to calculate the right dose, how often, and for how long?

    What would be the best/easiest way to administer the meds?

    My squirrel is 8 months old and her weight is about 520g.
