ANd she is acting normal for a newborn?No temp?Has it been a couple of days and she is still like this? Then I would treat her.
We did put ours on amoxi the vet gave me a small syringe (it was a syringe for under a pound dosage wise)for they do not need more than a couple of drops 2 times a day.
Dose for 2 1/2 pounds is .25 ml so you would have to break that down according to her weight.
Sorry I see you said this am I might wait to see how she is this afternoon unless she sounds congested.Dont know what yoru vet is like but I can call mine with symptoms and then treat at home without taking them in? |
Well, let me rephrase that...her nose sounds congested...not her chest. Her lungs are fine, I listened with a stethoscope.
Yes, she's completely normal otherwise. She's walking around, nursing well, gaining 2-3 ounces a week (her weight at birth was 4.8 ounces, she is now 10.1 ounces).
I have Clavamox and regular Amox (I prefer just the regular to the Clavamox) that I keep on hand here, and I also have a small syringe.
Maybe I'll wait to see how things go today, and if there's no improvement by tonight start her on the antibiotics.
