Honestly? Esbilac causes this. I know you'll get other opinions but after reading about 150 posts like yours in the past 2 years I KNOW it's the Esbilac. I would order Fox Valley 20/50 squirrel formula www.foxvalleynutrition.com and switch him over to it gradually....you will see those poops firm up. In the meantime you could give him a drop of Kaopectate to stop the runs, and make sure he is very well-hydrated with a Pedialoyte feeding or two every day because he's losing fluids with the diarrhea.

Damned Esbilac!! :soapbox:shakehead

I have seen this...Esbilac can kill and deform a squirrel badly :soapbox Please get Fox Valley, the man who has Fox Vally, Nick formulates it /he worked for Bordans years ago, he makes formula for tigers and many other exotic animals:thumbsup he will send it out FAST:wahoo just a wonderful educated person you will love talking to him:D
...and yes it would be the Esbilac causing the diarrhea...see the squirrel may be taking in a lot, but the company changed not only the formula but the way they process it (they went cheap) and the baby squirrel will not be getting the nutrition just diarrhea :osnap
my order for a pound I believe it was about 10 bucks and change...it is in powder form....I keep the bag in my freezer

Where are you located? If in FL, you may be able to get it quicker by ordering from henryspets.com as they are in Melbourne. Since this is what I would consider an emergency, I would call them first to make sure it is in stock.
