This morning my 2-3 week old squirrel fell into a cup of ebsilac, it must of been in there a good 5 -10 minutes. Since I plucked it out of the cup, he/she seems to be a little balloon. I'm not sure if it was from falling in the ebsilac and it drank some or if I accidentally gave it some spoiled ebsilac? Sorry to gross you out, but its feces seems to be yellow, and moist, kinda stringy. I don't believe this is normal, but I may be wrong. Help?

Sounds to me like he/she overate. As long as the bloating goes away, I wouldn't worry too much. But if it persists, something will have to be done.

It's been bloated for about 3 hours, what should I do if this continues?

It seems to be pooping a lot, and like I said, it doesn't seem to be normal.
I'm not sure, but thank you, and I'll follow your directions.

I don't think it got any in its nose, It seems to be doing fine, It wasnt a full cup of ebsilac it had maybe 2 tablespoons in it. The bloating seems to have gone down a lot, still a little pooch. I'm going with the homeade pedialyte till I can get to the store. It hasn't been fed since the incident which was about 4-5 hours ago.
I read about not microwaving Ebsilac, but would it be ok to warm the Pedialyte in a microwave?

I'm the only person who can take care of the baby and sometimes I have to leave the house for extended periods of time. In the event that maybe I forget to bring the formula or pedialyte, should water ever be used to hydrate it or would this be dangerous to it?

Hello, Babies take a great deal of time and patience would you like someone to help find a rehaber who would care for him until release age? He could be raised with other his own age.:Welcome
