I have a dilema. I wonder if any of you know what I can do for little Pearlie.
She is a squirrel that I visit at the park regularly for about 4 years now. Well, I saw her today and she has mange and is pregnant. She has crust on her back and the hair easily comes out. I know this because she is so used to me that I can scratch her back while she eats next to me. I even was able to squeeze her nipple to see if she had milk yet. I wanted to know if she had the babies already. No milk so I don't think so. She is VERY round. I am pretty possitive that she is knocked up.
The question is Can I give her any meds that will not harm the babies before or after she gives birth?
If it were needed I could catch her very easily. She is still quite healthy besides the mange so I don't think that it is neccessary as of yet. If she starts to seem weak then I will but I think she is ok for now.
