Sick Squirrel

Ran out of HHB'S and fed my baby peanut butter mixed with fox valley formula rolled in pecans. He's not moving around at all. Acts like he's real sick. What could have happened? :dono

Fox Valley is meant to be mixed with water, or at least something soluble like water. The Boo Balls are made with apple sauce, which soaks in to the powder and dissolves it. Your mixture has NOTHING to mix with the formula powder to break it down - peanut butter is oil base and won't absorb into the FV powder. I would try, even if it is just a drop at a time, to get water into him. If you add a small amount of apple juice, or a teeny bit of sugar to make it taste better and encourge him to take it, do so. Hopefully it will help him pass it through.

:goodpost he may have a belly ache from trying to process the powder and the oily peanut butter with nothing to dissolve them......I agree, get him to drink as much fluid as possible!

I got him to eat some watermelon. I guess that is good? Geez, never dreamed that mixing Fox Valley dry could make him so sick!:thankyou

I had to go to post office cause couldn't wait until 4:30pm for delivery of HHB's. He ate his 2 blocks just now. Geez, nothing like a kid that isn't feeling well! He isn't running crazy yet, but he's at least up! :thankyou
