    Default Need help on dosage for Grey squirrel baby with AP

    I have a 5-6 week old grey squirrel (weighs 49 grams) who is clicking. I am 99% positive he has AP. He has started with lethargy and is not excited for eating.
    I need the dosage for either Amoxicillin/clavulanate tablets 875 mg /125 mg
    Or
    Amoxicillin 250 mg caplets

    He developed it quickly and I feel I am running out of time.

    Cindy you are a new register, I do not know your experience...
    Here is a link to baby squirrel care:
    Go to this link this is a HUGE help.
    It's 6 pages long with the next button on the top right corner.

    http://www.henryspets.com/baby-squirrel-care/

    Please make sure you are feeding a correct formula, powered never liquid.
    Please ask any and all questions that come to mind, TSB is here to help you.

    Can you post a picture of the baby for a better assessment, 49 grams is really
    small /underweight for a 5-6 week old.

    Give me a minute. I will dose this for you.

    Could you possibly get a different antibiotic from friends or family? Ciprofloxacin would be better. Amoxicillin isn’t very good for pneumonia but we will use what you have.

    Liz, I’m going to have to dose this on the open board because your account is so new.
    We usually don’t dose on the open board. We send Private Messaging with dosing instructions but you can’t receive PM’s until an admin activates your account.

    I will send simple instructions.
    Write it down and in 10 minutes I will delete it.

    *Deleted and PM'd after account activation*

    I will send this info in a Private Message when your account is activated.
