Hi my 5 weeks old squirrel has pneumonia and has been started on a .02 of 875 mg of augmentin 2 times a day. she started them today and was doing better then all of a sudden isnt doing to well. shes having a hard time breathing and keeps trying to get fluid out of her nose and maybe her lungs too. There is clicking when she breathes with occasional squeaking. What can i do to help her breathe better and maybe help get fluid out? Thank you

You can run hot water in your shower and stand with her in the steamy bathroom, it might help her breathe easier. You can also try boiling a big pot of water, then put a towel over your head and hers, and breathe in the steam. (Be careful!)

Would a oil defuser with only water be something good to use to help her breathe more easily? Also she started screeching what does that mean?
