Hi Everyone,
I found this forum a couple of days ago when I was searching online for help. This has been the most helpful site that I have found. I had a little baby fall out of a tree on the side of my house. It is a little boy and I tried to warm him up and put him back out for his mom. She never showed so I guess I am in it for the long haul. I found him on 7/28 and he has been doing very well. He was dehydrated and I did get some fluids into him before giving him any food. I have been giving him 1 part esbilac, 2 parts water and 1/4 part whipping cream. I hope this is correct. The manager at petsmart had told me to put yogurt in it as well but I haven't tried this yet. I am guessing that he is about 3 weeks old. The past couple of days he would only eat about .8cc and last night he must have had a growth spirt because he has been eating 2cc to 2 1/2cc. I have been keeping him in my cat carrier with a pillowcase on the bottom and the heating pad underneath the cage. I also put a little stuffed animal in there thinking that he might get lonely. Is there anything else that I should be doing? Any and All the help that I could get would be greatly appreciated.
1st day I found him
