Update for the evening…
She is stlll having the same symptoms, and I am not receiving much help. I am thankful for those who reached out tonight.

No response from the squirrel refuge of my contact in medford. I just held her in my arms giving her lots of kisses and water.

For clarity - My above posting was requesting you to cross-check cipro dosing amount with an Admin since I'm not qualified.

Ok. I have been in contact with Crittermama

Update: I have administered amoxiclav and I am slowly seeing some improvements in mobility this evening. She also has quite the appetite at the moment. I will most likely be up most of the night keeping an eye on her and making sure she is hydrated. She just had a giant blueberry, water, and some formula.

We have also been taking her into the bathroom with the shower steaming, and gently using a baby aspirator to clear excess snot from the nose gently.

Noticing this is only a couple weeks old. How's your baby doing? My little prince recently started having congestion; last week (Wednesday) it was really bad. It's cleared quite a bit from what it was initially, with the help of humidifier therapy sessions (two sessions a day, 40 minutes each), but what's left seems to just be lingering. It's like one day he's feeling okay, the next he just wants to rest. Was the Vancouver WA Squirrel Refuge able to help? 'cuz in the next day or two that's the call I'm going to make.

It’s worth a call to the Vancouver Squirrel Rescue for advice. They may be able to help with a vet. It may be necessary to treat your squirrel with a course of antibiotics to clear up an upper respiratory infection if that’s what he’s got. We can help you with dosing if you post any antibiotics you have on hand, the strength of the medication and the weight of your squirrel.

The Squirrel Refuge (which is the place you guys are referring to) gave some help as well, but the little squirrel lost her battle. At the end, the "wobbliness" appeared to be neurological, causing stargazing behavior. She got several meds that should have cleared a respiratory issue to no avail. I have absolutely NO idea what was wrong with her, even after grilling her mommy on multiple issues.

I am sorry.
