    Exclamation Emergency! Dosage of infant ibuprofen needed for adult male squirrel

    I have an adult male squirrel that I think sprained his right front paw. He was crying in pain and appeared to be holding his right hand up. This went on for 15 minutes. Then he began walking around and eating normally. He is now crying again. What is the correct dosage for infant ibuprofen?

    Since meds are dosed by weight, do you know or have an idea of weight or
    can you post a picture for a guesstimate.
