Please get Capstar and keep on hand for emergencies. Luckily, Henrys sent me 2 Capstars with my Fox Valley order the other day, just incase I were to ever need them. I got a call this weekend on a brother & sister that were covered in maggots. It was horrible. Thank god I had the Capstar & crushed it & administered with water. Works instantly, the maggots were coming out of every orfice in the poor baby squirrels. If you don't have this med on hand get it! I can't imagine not having the med on hand what I would have done.

I hope that was the first and last time I get a squirrel that is covered in maggots, the poor things, but we gotta do what we gotta do!

Does Henry's sell Capstar anymore?

I'm glad you had it on hand!

Does Henry's sell Capstar anymore?They generally do carry it, but they were selling it with FREE SHIPPING a few weeks back to make sure every one had some on hand --so atm they are OUT OF STOCK.
..... but I'm sure they will re-stock as soon as they get more IN!!

Yeah, wish I would have had the ladder with my first squirrel:shakehead. Well Maggy and brother are only eating 1 cc at a time and it is not freq. like q4hs. I am worried for them with no appetite.

I wish I would have found out about Capstar sooner I probably could have saved this poor baby squirrel I found Saturday which i found by a tree very weak.I didnt see anything until Sunday and he was covered underneath his belly,arms,and legs.I tried this site but told me to wait for transition period? Anyway I called a bunch of places and told me nothing so now he,s not here anymore.I hope this doesnt happen again!!

I am sorry you lost that little one. In the future, they also sell it at petco, and I believe I have heard Walmart does as well.
