My squirrel needs antibiotics

[Annasalmons]

I can’t take my squirrel to the vets because of local laws wear I live.
But I rescued a baby squirrel this morning and think he might have pneumonia, I have some human amoxicillin that I can give him, but I don’t know the dosage, please can someone help.

Hello Annasalmons,

Welcome to TSB and Thank You for the squirrel rescue today. Is this a grey squirrel ??

For dosing, need baby weight and amox type and strength. In addition, you need 1ml syringe.

Also, please check the label and check to see for sure whether it is plain amoxicillin, or amoxicillin/clavulanate. Both will work but are dosed differently so we need to know.
