Hi,
My hamster is really poorly. Been given antibiotics today but unsure of the dosage, please help! As his presentation has got a lot worse from this morning, so much so that now he’s literally just breathing but not moving or reacting at all (to the point where I thought he was dead’. The vet description for the antibiotics were.. ‘draw up 0.05ml in the syringe then dilute in 0.5m orange juice. Then give 0.05ml by mouth.’ Does this mean make sure you give the whole of the antibiotics or give 0.05ml of the whole diluted solution? I’m very confused and don’t want to overdose him, cause he’s only a little fella! Help!
