squirrel seems to be swollen, any suggestions?

[b0b88]

she was fine the day before last, and then it got really hot and she didn't do much. then this evening I noticed that her arms, legs, and belly were really big. Any suggestions on what could be wrong? and any possible solutions?

She was about 4wks old when we found her and we have had her for almost 3mths.

Can you check to make sure your baby isn't dehydrated? Pull up on the skin on the back of its neck. Does it go back down right away, or does it take a few seconds? She puffed up so much that it is difficult to pinch her skin.

What kind of bedding are you using? she has a hammock, and Timothy Hay

Would you like us to try and find a rehabber to take this baby, and raise it with other babies? no

She is breathing just fine, eating normally, pooping, peeing. Nothing she ate today was out of the ordinary, and she has no new wounds.

no she doesn't get outside. and she has been of off formula for about a little less then a month.

she is a gray squirrel. and we don't have the light either.

It also sounds to me that she is having an allergic reaction but if she is breathing ok, I don't know. She could be retaining water..
What do you feed her?
Are you keeping this girl as a pet?
