About two weeks ago someone brought me a baby squirrel with eyes just opened that had been carried by a dog in the yard. There was no damage done and I tried to contact the one local wildlife rehabber but never got a response so I guess I’m raising him now.
He’s 163g on last weigh in. He was pretty skinny when I received him and now a chunk. Yesterday, the syringe I was feeding him with broke and the rubber stopper on the end got messed up and he aspirated. I immediately cleared his lungs as much as possible by tilting him down and using a suction bulb on his nose but today he is a bit crackly and sneezing. I have some medication on hand for dogs and for myself, but the vets around me will not treat him or give me any antibiotics since I’m not licensed. I really want this little dude to make it, so I want to try to give him some antibiotics. I have cephalexin 500mg, carprpfen 100mg, and sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim 800/160 mg tb. Which would be the best and how can I mix the dose for him?
