New Baby Aspirating

[stanlylittle]

I have a little one only a few days old I've been using an eye dropper to feed him long story short he's aspirating and struggling when he gets these fits. What I am here to ask is can I use Fish Mox Forte as a substitute it's 500mg and in it's abbreviation description Here is the description: Fish Mox Forte (amoxicillin) exerts a broad range anti-bacterial action on both gram-positive and some gram-negative bacteria. It is generally more effective in gram-positive infections. http://www.californiapetpharmacy.com...BYYhoC2eTw_wcB. Here is a link to the product.

Yes you can - if you are ordering right now and don't already have it, the Fish FLOX (ciprofloxacin) is a bit better.

We can help you dose this if you need it - would need to know the weight in grams for your baby to do so.

Please call them first, they may not carry this product.
Where in NY are you located? I have Cipro if you need it.

Most pet stores do NOT have it - I have looked...make sure you call first, and identify it by it's "fish" name - ask for Fish Flox, not ciprofloxacin!

They didn't have it and Stanley Little passed. Thank you guys for your help
