Oh, I am so glad I figured out how to post. I joined this morning, but I am not very good at knowing how to post in forums, and just figured it out.
My sons found a vole on Tuesday, and we totally thought he was going to die...he looked horrible. But we took him home so he could at least spend his last hour in peace. Well, lo and behold he totally rallied. We researched like mad on the internet...and fed him Pedialyte the first day, and then switched him to Esbilac. He was thriving. But now he looks soooo skinny to me. And he doesn't seem as active as he was a few days ago.
We have completely fallen in love....doing the whole feeding every two hours...and helping him poop and pee...etc. (How can you not fall in love when you do all that.) Can anyone help me with what else I can do? I live where all the fires are in CO and the rescue places are so overwhelmed....there is no way anyone would take as good care of him as we are. I would welcome any suggestions anyone could give. I want him to make it....
