Help! Possible pneumonia

[Aprilgeorge]

Hello a baby squirrel fell out of the nest at my home and the nest seems abandoned with no mother around , It was bleeding by the nose and I have been taking care of it for a week and it’s eyes are still closed . Sometime she drinks out of the Syringe to fast and it comes out her nose she is making a slight clicking noise and now she also has these little pimples on the inside of her legs which she didn’t have before . No vet around me takes wildlife so I can’t get baytril but my dog she got prescribed an antibiotics simplicef cefpodoxime pills . Can I give her price of that or how much because I think she has pneumonia

Aprilgeorge, this is an old thread.
It would be good if you started a new one in the life threatening help forum.
To dose any type of medication you will need the baby's weight and strength of the medicine.
What type of formula are you feeding right now.
I'm not an expert here on the board, but you'll definitely need a weight on the baby.
Pictures and/or video are also always helpful.

Aprilgeorge, everyone is really busy with babies right now, but someone will be here to help as soon as they can.
I have never treated a baby with pneumonia nor dosed medication.
What type of formula are you feeding and what size syringe are you using?

Thank you lukaslolamaus. I made a new thread, and pm'd Aprilgeorge this link.

Aprilgeorge, call your family and friends and see if they have ONE cipro (human ab.)
or Baytril (animal ab.) OR Clavamox (animal ab) or Augmentin (human ab)

We can dose it for you if you let us know the strength (mg.) and the weight of you
squirrel in grams.

What size syringe are you using, and what formula.
This is the formula that we always recommend.

I cannot find any dosing info for this med, and from what I am reading about it, I don't think it is really what you need. Someone else may have more info.

Can you contact your female friends and see if anyone has had a urinary tract infection that they were given Cipro for. It is the med usually given for UTIs, and it is also basically the human form of Baytril. If you can get just ONE pill we can help you properly dilute it for use for your baby. That IS what you need for aspiration pneumonia.

Thank you everyone for your help!

I’m feeding her esbilac goats milk for puppies powder

And I saw online at chewy.com they sell baytril for dogs should I purchase that
