Bleach or liquid chlorine. Everything else you pretty much need test results before adding

OK here is my numbers
I opened it yesterday ran the filter all night, put in a gallon of liquid shock yesterday.
test today: using HTH kit.
Total chlorine = 5
Ph = 7.5
Alkalanity = 50
but, the cyanuric acid test was nothing, I squeezed the whole bottle in the test tube, but I still seen the black dot at the botton. It was slightly cloudy, but i still seen it
What should I add

What is the volume of the pool? Your numbers look ok except you'll need to add some stabilizer. You may want to bump the alk up a little with some baking soda, but it is not critical.

It is a 35x18 abpot 4 foot deep.
How much stabizer and baking soda. It's been awhile
also, I had a present for me when I took off the cover, a squirrel was at the bottom, when I took the net to get him out, he pretty much disinergrated on me, but got most of what was left of him in the net. we just vaccumed the pool. Should I put any thing else in to combat dead squirrel remains??
Thanks
Barry
