Here is a link to a flyer with a problem that might need a vet's help and/or meds.
Does anyone have/know of a safe vet in central Mississippi or nearby?

Not to post jump, but I don't think might is the right word for this one. I have a bad feeling about this one, and I suspect that ABs are needed immediately.

Hi Lirpa
She is a sick little girl! You can see it in her eyes.
She has some kind of infection. By the looks of the Dark Yellow Puss on her tummy. :eek: Is she eating ok? NOW Can you tell me a little about her?
How old is she? What Kind of Formula are you feeding her? What is he Diet consisting of? Did you find her or Buy her? What is her weight?
Do you have a Water Source in the cage with her? I do not think she is sucking, But she is cleaning and over grooming because she is hurting.
This is what is giving her the Tummy problems.
Do you have CranBerry, or CranGrap Juice. (OceanSpray) Do you have any cranberries, And have you feed her any?
PS
Do you have any Antibiotic? Baytrill Is What you are going to need.
Can you get another Picture? This time hold the camera back a little. It might be a little clearer.
I am Usually up all night and morning till 10 or 11 am.
I posted this on the other Thread. Lirpa had already left. :shakehead I hope she calls in the morning. This is a Critical situation hear.
She really needs to find a Vet who will see A Southern Flying Squirrel. BAYTRIL is Needed and Possible a culture.

I have posted in her thread..I need location info to help..
I can if emergency, get meds to her today if no help is located...
However, I do know of peeps that maybe close enough to help....
are you all thinking UTI???
Mrs Skul is right..Baytril is drug of choice..
other possible/useful meds are Keflex and amoxycillan..
