Clavomox 0.2 ml every 12 hrs
Poor guy its seems like Im constantly forcing medication down.. As soon as he feels better hes going to be mad at me lol
These dosages are way too high!
Please check dosage with your prescribing vet again asap!
For example: at the recommended strength of Baytril @ 22.7mg
a squirrel weighing 1000 grams would be prescribed 0.4
Reading back on your baby's higher weight of 107 grams
by normal calculations, Baytril dose 0.4 likely should be 0.04
Clavamox 0.2 likely should be 0.02
If you have already dosed the amounts you have written above
I would highly recommend you do not dose again until after you
confer with your prescribing vet.
Edit: email also sent to member.
