    I saw in another thread that you have Cipro 500 mg correct?
    That is a better choice for aspiration pnemonia.
    Is your little one clicking, and having difficulty breathing?
    What size syringe are you using.
    I just sent you a pm for Cipro 500mg dosing for a 65 gram squirrel.

    What strength is the amoxi.?
    I will dose this for you, when I know the strength
    Try to find Cipro (Human ab)or Baytril (Animal Ab), OR Augmentin (Human) or Clavamox (Animal)
    Those are your best options for aspiration pneumonia.

    You will need a weight on squirrels to medicate if necessary, all medications are dosed by body weight.
    With aspiration pneumonia you would hear a clicking sound in breathing with both inhale and exhale.
    What are you feeding them? With what?
    Can you post pictures so we may assess their probable age and overall condition.

    Hey guys ! I could only find amoxicillin for my little Panchito. He has aspiration pneumonia, classic clicking noise. He weighs 85 grams and my capsule is 250mg. I found online it's 5 to 10 MG per kg, is this correct ? Some said 15 to 20 MG to kg. I need to get him dosed asap! Thanks !

    Dosing sent via PM... get the amoxicillin started but please continue the search for more suitable / effective antibiotics for treating AP.
