HELP!!!

A baby squirrel fell out of my tree on Saturday afternoon and we have been trying desperately to keep it alive.

HELP!!!

We have been feeding it Pedia-lite and puppy formula. It doesn't take the puppy formula very well. It seems to be getting weaker!

HELP!!

It has a newley developed cut beside it's nose and it bleeds alittle. Also, have found very small white worms on it. Not that many. We take them off.

We have him sleeping in a bucket with a warm water bottle and a towel.

We feed it every 4 hours.

PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP?!

The formula is Esbilac.

I just got home from work and checked on him. He does not look good at all. He gasps for air every 5 -10 seconds. My daughter feed him at 3p.m. and he drank .6 oz. Also said she wiped brown stuff from his ear.

I called the Urban Aminal Advocate and they will NOT take him because they said he is too young and they have a scheduled release date for the squirrels they have and he would not survive the winter if released then.

I was not happy with the help they gave me.:shakehead
