Indian Palm Squirrel runny nose and sneezing

[stepnstone]

I am out to buy BactrIm d.s tablet to get the best for him. I have ciprofloxacin hydrochloride 500mg at home. What should I do? Is Bactrim ds best?

No should I get a 1cc syringe? Will I get it in a normal pharmacy store?
Thanks again. Please help

Yes you need the syringe for dosing. Most pharmacy (here) will give you a syringe just tell them you are nursing a kitten and need a 1cc syringe without needle.

Bactrim is a good med so is Cipro just tell me which I am to be dosing for.
Personally I'd go with the Cipro, it's faster acting.

Yeah I have amoxicillin 500mg capsule. Now what should be the doseage? He is a 80gm Indian Palm Squirrel... 6 weeks old
Also do I need any probiotic? If he doesn't have aspiration will it be fatal for him?

The variant of ciprofloxacin I have is "ciprofloxacin hydrochloride"... Is it the same as normal ciprofloxacin? Please check. Thanks for all this help

Yes, on the probiotic . I have checked out the Cifran 500 it's good to use, Amox is harder on the gut.
Dosing him with an ab will not be fatal, not addressing this soon may very well be.
Even if not Ap, it obviously is respiratory.

Ok what should be the dosing then?
I have Cifran 500 with me right now. He is as I said 80-85gms in weight. Sorry I have a weight machine.
His movement has become very less too. He is sometimes running for just 5sec and then just pausing.

If you do not have a syringe what do you plan on dosing the amount with?
80-85 grams would be the same dose.
FYI: Hydrochloride is the most commonly used salt in medications, salt supports electrolytes.

I have a 5cc syringe. Sorry but the pharmacy didn't have a 1cc or 3cc syringe.

The dosage required is such a tiny amount you can not get a reading on a 5cc or a 3cc syringe.
Any of the med to be dosed would just go into tip of syringe and plunger does not express out of the tip.

[stepnstone]

Do you have a dropper such as type used on small liquid medicine bottle?

[Arjun Karfa]

Yes I have that

[stepnstone]

Yes I have that

I will send you dosing instructions to your private messages.
(We do not dose meds on open board for security reasons)
