Okay here is his story and here is where I'll post most of my questions instead of making a lot of topics, that is if making topics gets more views, if so this will just be his story and updates.
Saturday, I went with my Fiance to his uncles house out in the country, and I was going to ride horses and 4-wheelers while he was working for his uncle.
So soon enough we went 4-wheeling. We had fun until we found a dead fawn, very small on the road and fresh. It was rather sad, but we kept moving on.
Further up the road we found a adult squirrel, looked like it was hit too. Sad we could not save it we decided to go up the road a little further.
We saw the baby squirrel in the middle of the road, not very afraid of the loud 4-wheelers. My fiance's uncle's daughter went to it, but didn't want to touch it.
I went over and talked to it calmly and picked it up, his claws were sharper than i thought and he jumped on the ground.
He came back on my hand when i put it down and we went back to the camper to show everyone, i gave him water and some nuts. He didn't eat to much.
When we came home I gave him more water, and it was to late to get anything from the stores. The first thing we did the next day was get the puppy milk, he did very well with that. He ate pears and some other mixtured of nuts i have for my gerbils/guinea pig.
I gave him a bath with some baby shampoo, i think it irrated him, so i did not use to much the next time i gave him a bath. He is rather calm taking one.
I keep a shedule of what he does, what he eats at that time, ect. He was 102 grams yesterday night, today he is 106 grams.
I gave him some pydialite and am about to give him some milk, he is eating the nuts and stuff my gerbil/guinea pig eats.
I'll upload some photos when I can, day after day, I'm 100% sure his looks and actions have improved more than 50% compared to the first day I saved him.
He is energetic, playful, eats, uses the bathroom (#1 and #2), and sleeps. He is very good and his coat looks better today than it did the other day,
Thank you all for your help, it has done a lot. :peace
