I have a 10 week old squirrel that is not voiding properly for me. He is on Fox Valley 20/50 and has a heck of an appetite. What can I do to help him out?

Could you please describe in detail his eating schedule? How many times per day and how much he eats per feeding?
Also what's the dilution ratio you are using?

Another question: how long has it been? How long has he been this way? Since u started him on fv or later?

Also, was he eliminating before? Did u hydrate him when u first got him ?

If you could describe in detail his history and eating- drinking-etc patterns that would help the experts identify the problem.

Sometimes full strength fv can be too much for them.

Is he bloated? If he is, don't feed him until the bloat goes away.
Have u tried soaking him in a warm bath?

If he is not bloated, try pedialyte for a couple of feedings

But again , it's hard to suggest without knowing more detail.

Bobby is this the squirrel who just switched from goat's milk Esbilac to FV? Sometimes FV will cause some constipation at first even in an older squirrel. I suggest offering flavored Pedialyte in between meals, and diluting the FV 3:1.
