Depressed squirrel?

[chateauromani]

I think I have a depressed Baby!

Baby (my 1 year old girl) has been acting funny since we got home from the vet Wednesday afternoon. Normally, she's loopy for the rest of the day whenever she's put under to have her teeth trimmed, and occasionally she'll be off for the next day or so.

What is different this time is that she's still acting strange... She doesn't want to play, she just wants to sleep and cuddle. I'm worried something may have happened at the vet and nobody told me, or it might be the heat outside that's bothering her?

And it didn't exactly help that I'm now a foster home for two new guinea pigs... Is it possible that she's jealous?

I don't know, I'm just worried, and I can't exactly go to the vet and complain that my squirrel is depressed.

Suggestions? Has this happened before to anyone else?
Sorry this is so ranty...

You don't have to say that she is depressed to the vet, but say she is a bit off. I know the heat is turning my Sammy into a real slug but he spends a part of the day outdoors.
I know that I am compulsive about this, but please be sure she is drinking enough water. They dehydrate so easily and the heat really can make it more of a desperate situation. I hold the water bottle up to Sammy to get him to drink enough. He does readily drink when it is offered to him too. I squeeze gently and he drinks it happily. Hope Baby is feeling up to par soon! :grouphug :grouphug :grouphug
