Hi,

My 7-year-old squirrel just had surgery on his back molars, they filed them and cleaned things up (not sure if they pulled any, but they were "crumbling"). He's been given an antibiotic, plus Metacam to take once per day for pain and inflammation, and also Buprenex Oral for pain to take 3-4 times per day.

Does anyone have dosing instructions for Buprenex, and also any serious side effects for us to look for? Vomiting? Breathing problems? He's only 396 grams and does not have much appetite, I'm also worried that he will eat even less on this medication. The vet has said to give him .03 cc, but I wanted to double-check with you because the vet's office has already made a mistake with medication.

Thank you,

Fuzzy's Mom
