little red bumps all over/red around eye lid

[WldLifeRehabr]

I got in a new squirrel tonight,she's about 9 weeks.She doesn't seem to act right,I mean I know she's not all right because she was found on the ground,not moving just laying there.

She has a little cut on one of her rear toes,and the white lining around one of her eye's on the lids are red,she has little red bumps all over her stomach.I didnt see them until a few mins. ago. Earlier she drank a little pedialyte,so I went to give her more and she's a little more feisty then she was a few hours ago,since she's on heat now.So given her age I thought maybe she will sip out of a jar top. ( I have another one that I've had for a month that is now lapping up formula) I was in my office feeding my 6 wk olds when I hear all this noise coming from her cage and could see her moving very quickly but not going anywhere.I checked on her right away and she is soaking wet! She turned over the lid or rolled in it.while I was holding her and drying her that's when I noticed all the spots because she whole belly is wet,there are a lot under one of her arms and moving that arm seemed to hurt her some.

what does squirrel pox look like? she seems to have trouble moving.I put her on the floor and she didnt seem to get all the way up on her feet.For a wild baby she should have tried to run from me,but then again she didnt have that much trouble drinking from a syringe. when the people her found her gave her to me they said she hasn't been moving around in the box she was in.

I have clavamox,shut I give her it? She's 140 grams. How much? ( i have the 15ml drops)

I am wondering if she is a new release, a to young new release.She doesnt seem to be scared of humans.I am the only licensed rehabber in my whole town,but I know there is a least one other person who is doing it ( someone at a online business that sells rehabber stuff slipped up and asked was I so & so and why was I ordering so early? I could have played along,but that is not honest and I told them I was not who they thought I was).In NC you have to have a license to have any wildlife)

[WldLifeRehabr]

me again,I just checked on her again.She is all dry now so you cant see the scaly,red,little bumps.Some feel like they have dried up or healed over and aren't red anymore. One of her eye lids definitely red & swollen.She was sleeping on her side when I moved the blanket "cave" she was in and when I picked her up,the side of her face that she was laying on was wet like she was drooling,it to looks swollen in a small area.I checked in her mouth & ears & butt for maggots and didnt see any.She pretty much lets me do whatever to her now.I went to give her a little more pedialyte and picked up the wrong syringe,I picked up one that had a small amount of formula in it ( I had just finished feeding 3 babies) once she smelled that she wanted it big time! I gave her a 2 drops to see if she would take it,she did. But first she gets more peds. she drank it but not like she acted w/ the milk.It seems that moving her mouth bothers her.I hope this is not something that my other's can catch by being in the same room as her.I changed my clothes after I handled her,and washed my hands.I got a squirrel from this same place last week that was also about 8 wks and she couldnt control her legs.The one I got tonight also acts like she doesnt want to walk,but I think she still can. Do squirrels have virus outbreaks that spread among them? BTW,back to her eye,the top AND bottem is red and swollen

I'm going to start on clavamox.My bottle is good for 3 more days,but I will go get another bottle.Plus,I dont know how much to get her.Is their a breakdown chart for meds or something like that here?

I do have 2 bottles of clavamox but I forgot to put one up and it sat out all night! BTW, how much does everyone pay for a 15ml bottle (drops)

When I get mine,I have to add water to the bottle.They give it to me in powder form because I used to work at the animal hosp. and know how to mix it.BUT I let the doctor's figure out the doses.But I want to learn so I dont have to wait like this anymore. I hope someone comes along that can help me.But its 4:03 AM and I have to get up at 6:45 AM so I am going to bed.I didnt want to go to sleep until I got this baby settled.Plus I have to get up at night to feed my younger babies and my 7 baby opossums I have.Just tonight I stayed awake,cant you tell I am wayyyyyyyy to chatty.I get like this when I am tired.

I will check back here when I get back up or right after I get back from driving my daughter to school

Doing a bit of reading, it seems that squirrel pox shows up as larger fibroid tumours. Greys usually survive the disease. Here is a photo of a squirrel infected with pox:

Since it is a viral infection, antibiotics will have no beneficial effect. But it sounds more like an allergic reaction to flea bites or something to me. At least that is all that I can think of. Maybe as she gets more hydrated you can separate out the symptoms. Pictures would be helpful. There are so many experience people on here that one is bound to have seen something like it.

[Jackie in Tampa]

Clavamox is going to wreck her GI...if you have access to meds...get the sq friendly ABs...she will need need need some probotics of some type. I use yogurt.
Sqs do not do well on the 'cillans' and Clavamox is Amoxicillan.
What are you treating?
Can you post a pic?

[Wonkawillie]

If you are in NC then any chance she got into a fire ant nest? An animal her size could be having an allergy to so many bites. Swollen in her mouth, hense the drewling.

good point...infant benedryl would be choice med if fire ants, imo.
can we get a pic before you admin any meds?
hoping someone can help diagnose with a pic.

[island rehabber]

WLR, little red bumps often means mange mites. BE CAREFUL -- they will go on you, and for some reason they love people's midriff area :shakehead. See if you can use a magnifying glass to see if there are little red mites on her. Ivermectin and Revolution are highly effective on these things.

[WldLifeRehabr]

I've always treated w/ clavamox with my squirrels,per my vet.But that's why I need you guys.We all know that not all vets are trained for wildlife,but I've never had any trouble with their GI tract.Guess I have gotten very lucky? What are the squirrel friendly meds? (so I can let them know in case they need to order it or something,and I need to go buy them). Clavamox is always the stardard for cat attacks here.

Fire ants might just be it,I just got bite by 4 this weekend and have small red bumps.She does not look like the picture posted and its not bot flies.

I bet it is fire ants.

She eye looks so much better today,the lids are not red & swollen anymore but I did give her a little clavamox before bed.( sorry,I didnt know like I said thats what I was told to use before)

She did not want any pedialyte this AM.She was sleeping hard when I had to wake her up :(

I will try and get a picture when my husband comes home for lunch,but in order to see the spots really good I will have to wet her down again.I don't feel good about that.Maybe I can get the ones under her arm to show up? I will try my best ladies.Also this AM her cheek/face area wasn't as swollen and it was not wet at all.Even though her eye lids arent that red & swollen,her eye itself has a small dull spot on it.Hopefully some type of bruise?? (finger's crossed)

Can someone tell me how much benadryl to use on a 140 gram? I don't have infant ,I do have Children's they are 12.5 mg tablets.Fastmelt grape flavored.If the children's is still to strong,I can go get the infant ones.I've never seen them,but I'll get help if I cant find them.

Thank you so much everyone!

OH.........since she has so much fur I cant tell if she dehyrated,but I treat all my patients at 5%. She doesnt look like she is.I think she was just running around or rubbing around in the dirt like my older released squirrels do and got into a fire ant mount.

I will also get my husband help hold her so I look for mites.I needed 4 hands last night and he was sleeping when I got her.She didnt get here until almost 10 PM

[WldLifeRehabr]

oh, should I go ahead and treat her with Ivermectin and Revolution? I don't have any and revolution is high isn't it? OH, OT but can someone tell me the dose to use in case I get in a squirrel that has maggot's? Hopefully I will not get in anymore babies as it is,I have 4 that will be spending the winter with me.And maybe this new one?

I also think all 7 baby opossums will spend the winter w/ me too.

Check back soon!

Thank you all very much!

[Jackie in Tampa]

Oral infant benedryl should be in your sq medic bag!:thumbsup
and capstar pills too, for magots.
I use baytril{enrofloxacin} for most bacterial infections, I hate albon for cocchidia and use SMZ-TMP instead.
Panacur for worms
Flagyl{metronidazole} is also good to have on hand for giardia and systemic infections.
Metacam for pain, and also tramadol.
I keep vetwrap/sports tape.
erythromycin eye ointment, panalog/animax ointment...nystatin ointment.
desinex diaper rash cream,
gosh I have alot of stuff on hand ...the longer I do sqs the more I learn and see...so always adding.
The only human med I have is bayer asprin....:rotfl really!
I have more vitamins than the drug store:D


I try to get all orals from the vets......
if you can scrape up $50, the book Wild Mammel Babies :48 hours and beyond is a must...put it on your Christmas wish list if not!:D

What does benadryl do that makes it recommended in the case of bug bites?

I have a baby I got last week that was infested with maggots. It was horrible. Anyhow, he came in late at night. I did have revolution on hand for my cats and dogs. I was told to put one drop on him. I used the rest of the tube on one of my dogs who was due for his monthly dosage. I got all the maggots I could except for the ones that were up inside his wounds.

The next day, Friday, I went to the vet. I asked him about using Revolution, Ivermectin or Capsta and he said Revoltion works fine. I told him that there were maggots still in the deep wounds. He flushed those wounds with Silvadene which he said would kill the maggots as well.

Well, late Friday night, I was feeding the baby and found all these maggots coming out of the wounds. Maggots were also coming out of the rectum. I was advised to use Capstar but I did not have any. I called our local emergency vet and they said they did not carry it. I posted and asked if I could put another drop of Revolution on the baby. I received a range of replies from one more drop to 1/2 a tube. I used tweezers and got out all that I could see. The next day I went to Petco and purchased a package of Capstar. I was told to buy the 2 - 25 lb size and take 1/8 of one tablet, pulverize it in a metal spoon. Then take a sryinge and take up 1/10 of a cc of water and mix that water with the powder on the spoon. Then draw all that up into the syringe. With another syringe, draw up another 2/10 of a cc of water, mix it with whatever residue is left on the spoon and then draw that back up with the first syringe. Adminster orally to squirrel. I repeated this 24 hours later. (Jackie in Tampa - please correct me if I have that )wrong!:D "

I like the Capstar because it is convenient to have on hand and can get without a prescription. I paid $34.99 for 6 tablets which when you think about it, will go a long way. Using 1/8 of a tablet per treatment, that is 54 treatments! Petco had it on sale on their website for $27.99 and if I had printed that out, the store would have honored that price. You might even have friends or family that already buy Capstar and would be willing to give or sell you one pill!

Still and all, it is good to know what one is treating before laying on the meds, since the meds are not completely harmless in and of themselves. I don't know if capstar has any effect on mange mites. It is supposed to be for fleas. If, with a bit of loving care, these bumps look better in a day or two, the squirrel probably just had a nasty encounter with some angry ants. Then the problem is solved by itself without added financial expense or taxing the squirrels system with a heap of meds when s/he is in an otherwise compromised state of immunity. Pictures would sure be helpful, if you can. Some people on this board are experienced with mange and can tell you what to do if that is it (icky!)

[lilidukes]

I buy all of my Frontline Plus and revolution from our local Humane Society at about half the price of vets office or petsmart. I do believe they carry Capstar too. They also sell it in individual doses.

[mpetys]

I just want to make clear that I was not advocating Capstar for mites. I don't know anything about mites - and hope I don't ever have to learn. :D

I was just responding to WldLifeRehabr's request for someone to tell her the dose to use in case she were to get in a squirrel that had maggot's! Something that I hope she never has to experience!

I also wanted to say that I found an even better price that Petco's online sale price of $27.99. I was just at Chris' Squirrels and More website (http://www.squirrelsandmore.com/category/2286/parasite-control.htm) and she has Capstar listed for $23.99 although it is backordered right now. Also you can search for coupon codes for Petco. I found one that is good right now for 10% off.

Just in case I got lost in the shuffle ;)

I am curious about that. :)

[Ronda]

Benedryl is an antihistamine... it would be useful in any allergic type reaction...red bumps, hives, and even itchy skin. Insect bites and stings usually cause an allergic reaction, this is why there is redness and swelling at the bite area. It is very good to use for mites to ease discomfort and help the animal not scratch at the area, reducing the chance for infections. It will not kill mites or other insects

Everyone has their opinion on what works according to their experience.
Clavamox IS squirrel friendly. The WILDLIFE Vet at willowbrook uses SMZ-TMP, Clavamox, and THEN Baytril in that order. She has handled tens of thousands of squirrels. I've handled a few of them myself. I have helped dose amoxicillin in emergency situations for people on this board a few times. When it is given right after feeding and probiotics such as BeneBac , yogurt or Kefir are used there are no problems. 'Cillins are only big trouble when given ORALLY to LARGE HERBIVORES such as horses and cattle that require fermentation in the gut then it is administered IM and works great. Used it on my horses.

Benedryl
Grind the 12.5 tab and mix to suspend in 1cc water OR molasses, karo syrup, grenadine. The solid settles out fast so be very careful you do not OD
signs would be tremors... you should be fine though
administer .02ccs TID (3xs daily 6-8hrs apart)
that's POINT ZERO two ...just making sure:D

[mugzeezma]

BTW continue your course of Clavamox for 7 days. You don't want to create antibiotic resistant bugs.
THINK MRSA

[Jackie in Tampa]

i am not agreeing with or disagreeing with the dosing info of benedryl..
i didn't do the math and no reference was given...


what i wanted to say was make sure the only ingrediant is diphenhydramine
also wanted to say that we never got a pic....still waiting..
hoping all swelling has subsided and sq is acting well...
keep us in the loop:Love_Icon

[WldLifeRehabr]

To~~ Jackie in Tampa. Swelling has gone down, but she doesn’t act like a normal wild squirrel ( see below) I am sorry about not posting any picture’s. After I gave her the 1st dose of Clavamox the swelling in face went down and she doesn’t drool any longer. The redness of the bumps also faded and I don’t think my camera will pick them up, plus the only way to really see them is to wet her down. But I do want to try to get a shot of a few bumps that I can see clearly, I am just hoping they show up on my camera. I will need to get my husband to hold her while I try to take the picture. I am also hoping that the picture I take will show the dull, white spot on her eye ball. I don’t know if she got a bite right on her eye ball or if she is losing her sight. The redness & swelling around her eye lids has approved a lot. My vet gave me eye ointment. If her eyes doesn’t approve all the way, then he will try other stuff and see if she can see. I like my vet, just sometimes I wish he would be a little more aggressive.

I will post a picture of the way she sits. She kind of humps over. She is such a sweetie! She is not scared of me at all and pretty much lets me do whatever I want to her. She seems to really trust me. But I am worried about her.

I do want more instructions on how much Clavamox, I was told to give 2 drops from the dropper. I would like more, the exact amount would be great! I kept asking but keep getting the same reply. I am lucky to get what I have gotten, he is the only vet in town who will help me. She is 140 now

I am so sleepy that I better go, but I will be on here Friday morning. I might come back tonight if I wake up and cant sleep. That’s been happening a lot lately. I will say I am sorry in advance for misspelled words, or if something does make sense. I’ve been doing some head bobbing LOL!

Thank you all so much for your help!!

[WldLifeRehabr]

Something new I just noticed & got a picture of. She holds her head to one side all the time, and she mostly walks in a circle,kind of humped over.I went to check on her before I went to bed and she was laying on her back sleeping away,at first I thought she was dead because she didnt move. I started to pet her and she just laid there and didnt open her eyes until I picked her up. 9 out of 10 times she doesn't move around when I open her cage and she just lets me rub her, like I said before she is not scared of me at all.I've only had her 2 days, she still should be. Not to toot my own horn but when I was working at the animal hospital there were a lot of patients that would let me work with them and no one else.I could even give meds PO to a caution cat w/o a problem.if someone else did that same cat,he would attack. Toot Toot!! LOL!

okay,someone tell me how to post picture's here so I can get those picture's up of her holding her head to the side & the way she likes to sit.

[Jackie in Tampa]

wow Kristal..I never knew that...
I hit manage attachments, under the text field...
I learn something everyday...:D

back to the sq...
are you sure she hears?
It sounds like head tilt , maybe due to ear trauma or head trauma...
circles are another symptom of head trauma...sometimes the circles and the tilt get better, sometimes worse.
Spot on eye itself..I have seen several eye issues considered serious, some can be indications of poor nutrition, some are trauma...some can get better others not!
Time will tell, do all you can.,,feeding the best you can...making all sqs safe and secure is sooo important...when they feel safe , they will allow you more access to what is going on with them. Remember you are their eyes, ears and mouth...so watch closely, they will show you what to do!:)

Others will be up soon with better advise I 'm sure!:thumbsup

Most likely a neurological issue...way to late for Dexamethasone to help that(first 24hrs) but Dex would help with swelling and shock.
Clavamox
If you have used it successfully before why do you doubt it now?
Dosing
here is the method ...easy as pie and you need to know this

1gram = .001 kilograms or take your weight in grams and move the decimal point forward three places

1ml = 1cc

Clavamox

step 1
animals Weight(.140) in Kg X recommended dose rate of drug(12.5) = volume of drug to administer(1.75)

step 2
amount of drug(1.75) X drug concentration(150mg/ml) = .01cc Clavamox

With the Benedryl I created the drug concentration this way :
12.5 tab and mix to suspend in 1cc
the problem with this is when the drug settles then the amount drawn into the syringe is unknown

That's pretty cool :) Animals just feel safer with some people. My guess is that it has got something to do with emotions and pheremones as fear scares them when they perceive it. Maybe they can sense that you are calm and comfortable with them and so feel less threatened? It is certainly an advantage since you are rehabbing wild animals :)

I totally think you are right! I know when I am mad about something and I go to feed my babies,they act different.......like they are scared of me.So I know are picking up on my vibes.

Mugzeezra~~ You asked me why I was in doubt about using clavamox now. I don’t know why, I guess because some people said it’s not good for them. Even though I self doubted myself, I used it anyway because I have never had any GI problem’s using it on squirrels……actually on any of my animals. It cover’s a lot of stuff. Thank you very much for the dosing information. Where can I get this book at? Exotic Animal Formulary,

I do want to let you and everyone know that I am here to learn as much as possible and I will be asking a lot of questions. I self-doubt myself a LOT! I have no idea why I do that, but I do. It even came a sort of a joke when I was working. I could stand there and talk to & answer every question a client has about a patient for hours. Then turn around and forget or doubt all I know when it comes to my own animal. It got to where I wasn’t allowed in the OR to watch surgery or the exam rooms when my own animals where there……..I asked to much stuff, stuff I already knew LOL! I don’t like that about myself, and am working on changing that. ( I used to work at a busy animal hospital, that’s how I got into wildlife rehabbing)

Here are 2 picture’s ,they are not to good but I hope someone can see something from looking at them. I hadn’t said anything to my husband about her hearing, and today he asked me could she hear? I’m going to have to test her. We were also thinking if she had something in her ear, like fluid. That can really throw off how you walk, stand, etc. I’m going to call & see if I can get her seen on Monday (if they are open).This little girl is so, so sweet! I love her so much! She looks about 10 weeks to me, what do you all think? I have no idea why my picture's look like they do,they don't look like this until I upload them here.I will try to upload them again.I really need to get some new & better pictures.I will take some more & post them Sunday ( its 3:20 AM,so it is sunday but I mean later today,after I get some sleep. BTW I'm a night owl )

[WldLifeRehabr]

comments are the way she heads her head to the left? she also walks in circles,always counter clock wise.She cant really eat hard stuff (rodent block,carrots) she tries to,she can bite a piece off but it drops.She can lick up baby food.At first she tried to bite into the baby food,then she just licked it up. she "walks" humped like she is the picture,but she can & does lay out flat on her stomach when she straights out. She can "run" backwards very fast.

any idea's? do you think she can be fixed?

Heh, I am a real night owl, too. I seem to have engineered some semi nocturnal squirrels with my habits, even.

They index many other sites and private sellers as well as their own stock.

I think you are right about the ear. That she has problems hearing and has a consistent head tilt to one side seems to say that she has got some serious inner ear damage. It could be something else, but those two things point in a similar direction. I really hope it gets better, poor thing. I only know of one thing that is supposed to help with inner ear and, specifically, cochlea infection. It's cordyceps, from Chinese and Tibetan medicine... and I can't recommend it as I have never personally tried it. I just did a fairly thorough search for a friend with tinnitus some time ago, and that was my most promising search result. I am sorry I don't have any other thoughts to offer you.

I noticed the odd posture when I first saw that pic. There is definitely something going on.
Severe head trauma, disease, parasitic infestation, poisoning, insect bite, congenital defects :dono hard to say since you don't have any history on this baby.
