"In the midst of our lives we must find the magic that makes our souls soar."My darling Scooter, beloved Hami, sweet gentle Simon... YOU are the ones who brought that magic in my life. You've changed the way I see all things around me now and, because of you, I want to be a better person. This is not goodbye, my sweethearts. You be at peace, your work here on earth is done... now you are finally, truly free. Until we meet at the Bridge again, please remember that I will always love you.
The greatness of a nation can be measured by the way it treats its animals.

I believe it's the ibuprofen for infants but I've never used it myself so another rehabber will have to give you the dosage.
Tylenol is so toxic to the liver I would never chance it on a tiny mammal, myself.

I can dose the Ibuprofen (given a weight) if needed.
