So I switched MissChiChi to the Esbilac(liquid) after feeding her pedilyte ( homemade) I noticed her poop was like an ear wax color and creamy texture. I thought it was from the pedilyte but it's still the same color and texture today. Is this normal? She also twitches a little after she's done eatting. Can you explain to me the signs of seizures. Thanks!

I haven't used the canned Esbilac (others have), but their poop should be a golden color (not sure what your ear wax looks like :D ). If the poo is "creamy" and not well-formed, you may be feeding too much. You should get an accurate weight on her and give her 5% of her weight per feeding. The number of feedings will depend on her age. Twitching is normal. They twitch a lot sometimes, especially in their sleep. When I've had squirrels with seizure problems, when they go into a seizure it has seemed like a panic attack--they shake and attempt to climb, sometimes falling, sometimes squealing. They have also gone into what Grand Mal human seizures look like--lying in one position, every muscle in their bodies stiff and tensed, shaking uncontrollably. If all your baby is doing is twitching a little, it's probably not a seizure, but I haven't seen it (your baby) so I can't be certain.
