Hi everyone, So i know most of us here are not vets but im hoping that someone might have knowledge on my situation.
My Pixie had a litter about 5 days ago. The pups were all doing well but one of them is extra small. He looks like he might be just a bit younger that his litter mates. He has a big appetite but he just wasnt very good at nursing. I decided that i would tube feed just to supplement what he was getting from mom. I had to do this with a cleft baby a few years ago and it all went well so i was pretty confident. This morning the little guy was extra feisty and he kicked and pulled away... i saw a couple of milk bubbles on his little nostrils. I quickly sucked them out with a bulb and also cleared his throat with it. He seemed fine but im still worried that he may have aspirated some.
With the little cleft baby (she weighed about 2 1/2 oz) , the vet gave me an amoxicillin antibiotic suspension to prevent infection but i dont remember the dose at all. I just so happen to have a fresh batch of amoxicillin suspension that I'm currently giving the mom. I would like to treat the pup with it too as a precaution and before it expires... Does anybody know what the dose is for Amoxicillin suspension. He weighs about 3 ounces now. I know some will say take him to the vet... i know... but right now id just really appreciate if anyone remembers dosage info. thanks so much everyone
