bloody diarrhea

[honeybee]

my baby has blood in her diarrhea, it is also a white color. she came to me a few days ago, maybe three weeks old, dehydrated but solid stools now this......

Are you sure it's blood?? Is it black? Is it fresh blood, like from an internal injury?

What are you feeding her? How often? How much at a time? What does she weigh? Have you tested her for internal parasites?

Many things can cause diarrhea...many very easily fixed things...please tell us more.

More questions:

How did you rehydrate her? For how long? Did you start out with full strength formula or gradually increase the Esbilac/water ratio? If you ramped her up too quick to full-strength, that can really cause bad diarrhea. So can heavy whipping cream in the formula for some squirrels...I have some that can take it and some that can't... so can not fully rehydrating before starting the formula. They can't digest their food without proper bodily fluids...
