    When you feel him, do you feel any ribs, it clearly doesn't
    look like you would.

    I would have guess about 700g too, he hides his weight well!

    Ok it's been the 24hr mark since he had the dose, not as loopy like and weak. He still eats and drinks, however when he went to pee 2 times nothing came out. I looked after he moved and there were no pee spots on the paper. It's new paper because I just changed it because his pee was alot stronger smelling than normal. Maybe he has a uti?

    UTI I think it's because he's still getting over mbd, that and stress of surgery.

    Does Seymour have a drug problem?


    How It Works

    Buprenorphine is an opioid medicine similar to morphine, codeine, and heroin. It targets the same places in the brain that opioids do. It relieves drug cravings without giving you the same high as other opioid drugs.

    Buprenorphine can cause side effects similar to other opioids and also can cause physical dependence.
    Why It Is Used

    Buprenorphine can help treat addiction to opioid drugs, including heroin and narcotic painkillers. It prevents or reduces withdrawal symptoms caused by quitting these drugs.
    Hahaha 😂you know the opiod problem in america is bad when the squirrels start using lol I hope this doesnt offend anyone

    Picked up his prescription 1ml 2 times a day of sulfatrim pediatric. Gave him his first dose so hopefully he gets better. 1ml seems like nothing though , that's tiny

    What is the strength/mg of the sulfatrim?
    Double check your dose.
    Did you give the amount of the green arrow which is 1ml?

    Black arrow is 0.01ml
    Red arrow is 0.1ml
    Green arrow is 1ml

    Now I don't know that medication but seriously, please do check that it's not .1 ml instead as 1 ml is the full syringe! Only me, but I would that would be way too much for a squirrel, and could possibly kill the poor little one... others can chime in, but I've never had such a big dose prescribed for any of my squirrels.
