Hello

Hello. A friend found a 2 week old baby squirrel. Or we think two weeks. He has had him a week. He has small clicking only sometimes when he breaths. Roger says he has 500mg amox capsule and needs to know dosage just in case. I had him weigh the little one and his baby weighs 39g. He has no idea how many grams when he found him. Pooping, peeing, eating normally. Is there a place to find out how much he should weigh and how much meds he would need if the clicking becomes worse?

how is the baby being fed ??

How long has this clicking been going on ?? This is sign of aspiration pneumonia A/P.

Amox is good but the is better antibiotics like Augmentin or Cipro. Ask family, friends, anybody.

Did you friend contact a local rehabber to take over ??

No he has not.

I believe 3ml syringe that came with the miracle nipple. He only has 500 Amox and has asked around.

It is not a continuous click. I've listened to him breath. I can count over 40 breaths and no clicks but after he eats/tries to get comfortable there Is a few clicks.

Hello, this sounds like another TSB member that popped up recently. Is this same squirrel baby ??

If yes, its best to continue one thread.

A what? I haven't ever posted about any squirrel ever... I am trying to help someone with this baby squirrel. Where do I go if I can't get help here on antibiotics dosage for him or other advice?

Sorry to mix you up with another. For aspiration pneumonia, amox-clav or cipro is best. Any chance of getting one of these AB ??
