    Default Aspirated baby. Weak.

    He is around 50-55 grams. Won't take any fluids. I have ciproflaxin 250 mg.

    Thank you so much stepnstone. Email received.
    1. How many doses and how frequent should I give him cipro?
    2. When and how to feed probiotics?
    3. Will curd work? I can only find flavored yoghurt loaded with sugar?

    4. Should I mix the dose with warm water? He won't take anything that's less than warm he'll shake it off.

    It is often recommended to split the dosing to every 12 hours but since this is such
    a small dose it's not too feasible however, I would use the first as a loading dose and dose
    again in 12 hours then go from there to once every 24hrs. Duration 5-7 days.

    It is recommended to give a probiotc 2 hours before or 2 hours after administering ab's.
    You can use the yogurt, it doesn't have to be much.

    I noticed on your registration you are a first time care giver so I'm attaching a link to baby squirrel care.
    Palm squirrels are a little different but I believe the instructions are fairly universal.
    Go to below link it can be a HUGE help. It's 6 pages long with the next button on the top right corner.
