This morning I took my 3 month old squirrel out of her cage and noticed she was a bit cold (not super cold to the touch or anything I just could tell she wasn't her normal warm self). The weather was nice last night so I had the windows open. She seemed a bit odd so I put her on a heating pad and gave her some fox valley formula. This is when I really noticed she was being weird. Normally she FLIPS when I give her formula. She absolutely loves it, but this morning she accepted it but didn't seem to really care about it. I've had her on me with the heating pad for about an hour now and she just seems lethargic. She just wants to curl up and sleep. Does anyone know what else I can do? Normally she gets all frustrated when I hold her a certain way but she doesn't seem to care what I do with her. She just wants to sleep.. I'm really worried because I know that's usually bad sign. I also ran out of her squirrel blocks two days ago. She's been eating carrots, cauliflower, and green beans as well as some formula (I usually give her the left over formula to lap up after I'm finished feeding my other 1 1/2 month old squirrel.)

Lethargy and inability to thermoregulate sounds like she is sick with something. Any other symptoms? You are in FL, right -lots of squirrel friendly vets.

I'm hoping she didn't catch my other squirrels ear infection :/ I'll be heading to the vet later today.
