I found a tiny baby squirrel about a week ago. He’s been doing great. I would guess he’s about two weeks old right now. He weighs 30 Grams. I noticed the clicking sound started last night. Of course I did some research and it said the baby needed some antibiotics quickly. This morning I went to the only vet in my area that sees wildlife animals. Today was his walk in clinic. After waiting 45 minutes for my name to be called… The vet looked at me without ever looking at the squirrel and said he didn’t have time for that today. After waiting 45 minutes I didn’t get any help. I’ve done a lot of reading and it says that I can give the baby amoxicillin. Some say that you can take a 500 mg amoxicillin capsule dissolve it in water… So my question is can you actually do that? And if so what would the appropriate dilution and dosage be?
I’ll also add that he is eating well and moving around. I just don’t want it to get worse and I lose him.
