I saw on a few posts people using antibiotics for a baby squirrel but I have no idea which are safe/available. Please can someone advise me as to what I can administer to him that is easily available in the U.K.
I’m so worried about him right now
Thank you for your help ❤️
Preferred medications is Baytril which is an antibiotics for animals, Cipro (Ciprofloxacin) is the human form. Augmentin and Clavamox.
Many woman use Cipro for yeast treatment and often will keep/have this med on hand.
Other antibiotics can be used in lieu of these.
Call around to family, friends and see what you can come up with. We can tell you if it can be used,how to break down and dose.
