795g fox squirrel with a wound on her flank.
Original thread is here: https://thesquirrelboard.com/forums/...cw-wound-pics)
Briefly: because of all the movement right there the wound keeps getting pulled open. I have gabapentin left over from another squirrel and have mixed a 100mg capsule into 1ml of liquid (water and maple syrup).
Is it... appropriate, I suppose, to give this to her for the purpose of sedation, in this situation? I don't want to medicate unnecessarily, but I think it would be good for her to be sleeping more and moving less right now.
If so I need the dosage for her.
