trouble walking

[luvem]

I hope i'm just being overly worried but my 5 week old squirrel just opened his eyes 3 days ago and seemed to be doing well. I've started to let him crawl but he seems very off balance. His movements are spastic and he'll sometimes fall to the side. He took a fall from a 30 ft tree and his brother and sister did not make it. I've had him 2 weeks and he's doing great with everything from eating to going to the bathroom. Is it just that he's learning to walk or could it be more serious. I want the best for him and i'm willing to do whatever it takes. Thanks so much. Kristen

Hi Luvem. If you're baby has just started walking, then he's got some muscles to build up. Does that seem to be the case?

I think it may have gotten double posted?:thumbsup
