Is This Pox Juvie Healing?

[mainemargaret]

Hi All - I posted this under Squirrel Pox earlier but thought it might get a better response here. This little one was started on acyclovir and baytril back on 11/29. Does he looks like he's healing okay? Just worried. The 2nd photo was pre-treatment.

Hi Margaret,

Personally, I know next to nothing about pox, except that it's bad, contagious and so on.

It seems like, too, not a lot of people know about it.

But Jackie in Tampa knows quite a bit for sure.
Why don't you contact her personally?
She posted her e-mail address here:

mrs skul uses echinacea capsules from gnc for her pox squirrel wilds...and it helps them a lot ... it's not bitter ... and every little bit helps..... i'll see if i can find the link for you .....:grouphug

[gs1]

gnc and pox don't show up in a search but echinacea does so here are some links for you .....

Marry Call Me!
Skul posted a picture of the Echinacea I found to work the best. :thumbsup
I have 3 babies getting over pox right now.You need to mix 1 capsule to 1 gal of water. Take LookMomChickens up on her Acyclovir.

Can you post a picture of the won you think has POX?? :eek: Look at the Toes, Ears, Eye, Tail, Rectum, and Tinkle are. Their will be little blisters. :eek: That is the first sines. The SCABES when they fall off are highly CONTAGIOUS to. I would start every thing in your house on ECHINACEA WATER NOW!!! You get it from GNC.
DONT buy the cheep walMart or Spring-Valley Bran!!:nono The out side Squirrels would not drink the water. It has a funny taste to them. GNC Bran is about $17.00 . It will not hurt forSuggar Gliders, Flying Squirrels, Rabbits, Birds, Cat, Dog, to drink the water. I would give it to every won. Even mixing your formula with the water/Mix.I sure hope the Pox problem in the Keys, are using the Echinacea Water!:thumbsup Helped 100% in my out side Squirrels when they came down with it. Good luck Pappy.:grouphug
Just watch your flyers. There has been quite a few Flyers that have came down with the POX!! Keep them on the Echinacea water.:thumbsup :thumbsup
PS If the blisters brake and the fluid get on the other Squirrel. You will have more blisters.

one thing ... i don't want to worry you but sometimes the lesions go inside to the organs.....rather than outside and then it's really dangerous....:grouphug

Thanks very much astra and gs1. I have contacted Jackie, but I realize this is such a busy time of year. Would love Mrs Skul's number if you'd PM it to me. I have echinacea in the outside water, plus the NutriFeron that Jackie recommended. And I do worry about internal lesions. This one gets infant motrin for pain in addition to the other meds. Everyone else has cleared up nicely thanks to the help on TSB. Just want this little guy to get better! Thank you!

Remember, the Echinacea doesn't cure the pox.
Its purpose is to help the squirrels own immune system fight it.
