Lefty needs help

[bcguy92]

My grey squirrel weighs 356 grams is about 8 months old female. Loss of hair behind head no red marks not scracthing but hair loss continues to grow to just in front of shoulders. There is no loss of energy .She has had this for about 6 weeks now, I am pretty sure it is mange and i am wondering the proper dose for ivermectin and how to get it in her. There is no way she is going to take it oraly unless it is on food Thx so much for any help

:Welcome bcguy92 and Lefty!

If you can provide a little more information, that will help our rehabbers help you.

If it is possible for you to post a picture that would be a great help to them. (If you have digital photos but don't know how to post them, we can give you the steps to follow :) )

Also, please let us know what Lefty eats as hair loss can be nutritional. And whether Lefty gets direct exposure to sunlight (not through a window or screen, but direct) or to a full spectrum light.

None of these symptoms at all. She is racing around 1000 miles an hour healthy as horse lol. I also apologize for posting under life threating conditions but i tried non life threating and somehow the post ended up under life threating. I do have a pic but dont know how to post. Thx so much for your help Pat

Lefty eats walnuts almonds bannas tomatoes some lettuce, leaves and celery but not a lot, the odd breton cracker,raisins. She doesnt go outside so she has no direct sunlight exposure. Pat
