Next steps.....
Start using 1ml syringe for feeding.
Keep close eye on squirrel breathing. Really hope its comes back to normal.
Listen closely to breathing for A/P clicking. Listen before feeding.
Check strength of Amox/Clav and keep 1 pill ready. If needed, TSB can give you dose instructions.
Update thread with status (don't start a new one). Add a picture of squirrel - we love pics!
I'll keep eye on this thread but other TSB members can jump-in as needed.
Thank you for the rescue of this little one!

When you get a moment, give an update........i'm dying to hear good news!
Great news. Monitor squirrel for any significant change in activity level and/or feeding drop-off. Keep 1 pill of the amox-clav ready just in case. Thank you for getting 1ml syringes. Post some pictures - we love pics!
If anything changes, post in this thread. Have fun!

Do you think a prescription would be okay for preventative measures? Or no?
Hello,
Prefer to only use AB when probability is high for A/P. Using amox-clav AB is hard on digestive system so its a trade-off.
I wonder if what you are seeing is the squirrel clearing his lungs & nose from the previous aspiration event ?? Its serious to see choking reflex as you described.
Please check your pill and confirm it has a 1/2 pill cut line. (using big pill into small squirrel is challenging.)
Do you think you have probable cause for A/P ??
Squirrel weight needed.
ok. I will work up dose instruction.
Please cut pill in half carefully. Use sharp knoife.
amox-clav 875mg/125mg 1/2 pill for 80 gram squirrel.
Dose info sent by PM
Ask questions before dosing.
How's it going ??

So far, so good - thank you for your help!
