[Peanuts98]

Please help! This morning I woke up and he was just laying there with bloody poop all over his but and tail!! What to do?? We do not have many cars to take me places, Cant get order till next week maybe or later! :dono :shakehead

[pappy1264]

Ok, this baby needs help that you cannot give. I don't know what you want us to say to you other then what was said. Stacey has offered help, take it. Get this baby to her, whatever that takes. This baby is going to die if you don't. Call friends, ask for a ride. I know you love this baby, but love will not save him. Having what you need to give him what he needs can. I am not trying to be mean to you, but enough is enough. This baby needs help and us telling you anything will not matter, as it seems you do not have any of the things he needs right now to properly take care of him.

[Jackie in Tampa]

a warm cloth held on his bottom for a few minutes will help soften the poop.

Thanks, but sadly no one where I live work on squirrels :( Im gonna call Stacy today. :thumbsup The bloody pooped stopped thankfully. :crazy
but his poop is still liquid! PLEASE help on this!

[daniellenc]

GIVE HIM TO STACEY!!! No one can help you medicate a squirrel you can't get a weight on nor take to the vet, or even get meds for. There is no way for us to cure him over the interwebs- like none. Stacey has the experience and medications he needs- you don't because your still young and not able to work yet. Please do the right thing this baby is sick beyond your control:(

Why do people think there is a magic way for people on a website to cure what veterinarians go FOUR YEARS to school to learn how to cure? :shakehead:shakehead:shakehead:shakehead

[daniellenc]

Wrap peanut up in a warm blankie keeping his bum exposed. Get a washcloth with warm warm and wipe gently until the poop is off of him. Depending on how dried it is it may take a bit of time, but it must come off. If you have vaseline or A&D ointment dab a bit on his anus to keep it from getting raw or rashy because it can and will become infected without a protective layer like diaper rash in babies. And call Stacey please... I am sure she will come get him, let you visit, post pictures and updates on him here; and most importantly get him well enough to live in the trees again where he belongs. He deserves so badly to live and he is close to death as I type. Blood in the stool means 1) bacterial infection 2) fungal infection 3) intestinal disease 4) intestinal swelling and bleeding can and will literally make his bowls explode and instantly kill him. More importantly he is getting very dehydrated having watery bloody stool which will kill him before the cause of the diarrhea in the first place. He needs subq fluids, antibiotics or antifungals, and nothing in the tummy to digest until hydration has been reestablished and the cause of the diarrhea figured out. He needs a fecal done today along with these fluids, and most likely medication for parasites and subsequent bacterial infection that having diarrhea can often cause. Since you can't get him to a vet and Stacey can will you PLEASE be a hero and save this squirrels life?? Please:(

[Peanuts98]

I KNOW I KNOW!!! PLease chill! Yelling doesn't solve the problem! DUH! :shakehead :shakehead Im calling stacy ASAP Posting pics in a few.

I wasn't yelling- THIS IS YELLING- this is talking:D I was merely trying to explain how to gently remove the poop and prevent further infection to help you because I care about peanut. I hope your going to let Stacey keep him so he can get better since he is very cute and should totally be able to mingle in the trees and make his own little peanuts someday:rotfl

[sassysquirrel]

I have been following Peanut's threads - I know you are attached to this little squirrel - I know how they can wrap their little paws around you heart - and it is hard to let go - Peanut is having health problems, and he has been having them for a while - please get him the help he deserves - you did save his life when you found him - so please save his life one more time - let Stacey take him and see if she can get him well - I am sure she would be willing to post pics of his progress - so you could continue to see him grow - and maybe it could be arranged so he could be released at your home when he is old enough - Please be brave and let Peanut have a chance to live and possibly come back to you

I just recently lost 2 babies - 1 was a pinkie flyer and the other was a 10 week little grey squirrel - they both broke my heart - If I would of had someone close to take the pinkie flyer - I would of have done it in a second - but there was no one close to me that I could take it to - I did exactly what the experts told me to do - he did live for about 10 days - and then I found him dead with blood on his nose - he had fell from a tree and did have a bruise on his head - so the experts thinks he had a bleed of some kind

Just think about this - YOU SAVED HIS LIFE ONCE - NOW DO IT AGAIN - please - I just don't want you to be sorry in the end - your little guy is sick and it seems like he is getting worse - I have worked with some rehabbers before and they a super super sweet people they will do anything they can to save this little guy - please give them both a chance

[Nancy in New York]

Tomorrow is going to be too late. Stacey needs him now...did you call her?"
When you say cough cough hint hint....are you asking for help with the vet bill?
Please please get him the help he needs NOW. You cannot afford this baby, and you need to do the right thing.

[pappy1264]

I you can get him to a vet, you can get him today to Stacey. You are playing a game with this babies life. Part of loving is letting go when you cannot do what needs to be done. Please do the right thing, get this baby to where he can get help TODAY.

[island rehabber]

I KNOW I KNOW!!! PLease chill! Yelling doesn't solve the problem! DUH! :shakehead :shakehead

No, YELLING doesn't solve the problem, neither does
STALLING AND HINTING FOR MONEY SO THAT YOU CAN KEEP THIS BABY!!!!!

Give him to someone who can raise him properly, or ditz around and have his death on your hands. Forever.

[daniellenc]

I sincerely hope you are being honest this time about the vet- you have to understand you have given so much misinformation it is very hard with a good conscience to believe you at this point. If you want people to respond positively to you- you need to be honest with us- it's called mutual respect.

The thing about walking into the vet is it costs $45- you will walk out paying closer to if not over $100 for a fecal and meds....they often assume their caregivers know this and may or may not have explained this to you. However, it's not just the cost of a vet that worries me about his care and you haven't answered any of my questions or anyone else's. If you would like us to chill maybe you could answer a few??

1) what will he be caged in once he is bigger (like in the next 2-3 weeks)
2) did you order the FV and proper syringes yet?
3) did you order the HHB's
4) are you aware his HHB's and FV will need to be reordered in about 2 weeks they go through it fast?
5) How often and how much is he eating?
6) Are you going to order a scale?

If we know he genuinely is being cared for properly you will see a lot more support in your endeavor from us. However, when you tell adults to chill, tell multiple lies in one thread, and make a mere $45 seem like a lot of money people tend to freak out for the squirrel who is dehydrated and very sick right now- he may die from this dehydration before tomorrow, should have seen a vet today, and yet you are very nonchalant about the severity of your neglect.

[Nancy in New York]

One more thing. I know that I offered to send you some block. BUT that is only the beginning of what a proper diet is for a squirrel. There are so many things that can go wrong with him, and if not fed properly, he will be in big trouble. Have you read up on MBD? Do you know what a slow painful death that is? If you cannot afford this tomorrow, which actually is quite cheap for a vet to see him, you honestly cannot afford this squirel. Minimum you will spend $100 monthly on him if you do this right!
He needs a big variety of veggies, and while he will not eat them all, very few of them come in small quantities so you end up throwing much away....but it is ALL necessary.

This baby squirrel is doomed. I suggest we all take our loving hearts and helping energy to all the other threads here in the Emergency section, where we can actually do some GOOD for the animal.

[rocky63]

SO SAD ! :shakehead Why do people come to the board and ask for help if they don't want to listen.:dono :thinking :shakehead

[Mochi&Mocha]

thanks but I'm taking him All creatures vet tomorrow will cost me $45! cough couch hint hint! :multi :shakehead :shakehead

You are very lucky if you walk out spending less than 100 dollars. My last vet bill was $275. If 45 sounds like too much you really need to hand him over :shakehead. If you really love this baby you will get him the help he needs, even if it means giving him up. Please find it in your heart to do what is best :Love_Icon

[pappy1264]

Do you intend to release this baby when he is old enough or are you hoping he will be your next 'pet'? I'm asking because I am not sure you know what he most likely will be like when he matures. Squirrels do not make good pets. They cannot (and will not) be domesticated. they cannot be potty trained, nor trained to not chew on everything in your house. And when hormones kick in, they can get very dangerous. And if your 'pet' bites someone, you will be held responsible for it. You will get in very big trouble for having a wild animal, and sadly, this squirrel will be confiscated and euthanized. You will most likely be fined, as well. I am writing this to try to shed some light on trying to keep a wild animal as a pet. Plus, keeping them healthy in captivity is very hard, and very expensive to feed them properly and even then, things can happen. And vet bills (if you can find a vet that will treat them, and has experience doing so) are very expensive. Just something to think about.

I hope and pray you will do the right thing for this little one. I can guarantee if this baby dies, you will carry a guilt that does not go away. You can save him. And as stated, that 45.00 is to walk in the door, nothing else. Please, please put this babies life first and do the right thing.

[Peanuts98]

I AM PAYING FOR THE BILL!! :soapbox I asked the vet lady about him and she says he WILL live! you people said he was gonna die in 2 hours, 3 days ago! OMW He is still alive! and after his check up @ the vet if I cant pay for the meds and vet check up I WILL give him to Stacy! I'm am willing to use my basketball $$ to save his live! :Love_Icon :Love_Icon

[pappy1264]

What? If you see the vet and can't pay for it, you will give him to Stacey then? So she will have to pay the bill? Am I reading that right?

Please read my prior post.

No i'll pay for the vet visit, but if anything happens anymore, after the visit, I will give him to her.. okay?? :D

[island rehabber]

:pissed NOT okay. How do you plan to care for this squirrel?

[Chickenlegs]

I see a young person head over heels in love with a little squirrel. Darlin that's every one of us. So here's the thing--the folks here have HUNDREDS of combined years caring for squirrels. Every person on this board wants your baby to live, grow up and take to the trees. BUT--and this is where your feelins are apparently getting hurt--all those years of caring for, loving, healing and holding little ones when they pass from this life are seeing a bad outcome for your baby unless he gets help NOW--not tomorrow, not later--NOW. The blood could be inflammation, infection, parasite--and it would seem that your attachment is more important than the life of the baby you love. That isn't an adult way of caring. That's a juvenile way of caring and if you have the heartbreak of holding a dead baby in your hands, it WILL be your fault. NO ONE WANTS THAT HEARTBREAK FOR YOU! Are we picking on you? Good lord NO. There are young people on this board who are wonderful care givers and if you read further you'll see babies given up to people better able to care for them every day. What you see is experienced people wanting your baby to LIVE!

[astra]

No i'll pay for the vet visit, but if anything happens anymore, after the visit, I will give him to her.. okay?? :D
I am not even going to get into this...
people have already said over and over what MUST be done if this baby is to live

Perhaps, because you are only 14, you just don't realize that "if anything happens anymore AFTER" it will be too late!
Even though you are only 14, you are old enough to make yourself realize that there is such thing as a point of no return.
This baby has endured enough from the incorrect care.Its little fragile infant system can take only so much after which it will break.

So, you are perfectly willing to let this baby suffer from yet another issue and physical pain (="if anything happens after this") only to indulge yourself?
So, you are perfectly willing to take a chance and let something else happen to this poor baby, on top of what it has already gone through with you?
So, you are perfectly ok if this baby ends up suffering again? And you even put a "grin" smily? So, it's fun if a baby animal will go through pain again?This is NOT love.
This is CRUELTY

Its chances for survival and growing up at all, let alone healthy to be released, are diminishing with each hour it does not get the experienced care.

At this point it does not matter what your "intentions" and "feelings" are because your actions speak louder than words or anything else, and your actions are egotistical and cruel towards this baby animal.
This is not love. This is pure self-indulgence.

Yes, it's blunt, but so is this dire situation and this baby's needs

[astra]

So, if you were bleeding from inside, with horrible diarrhea and blood in your stool, you would be ok with someone withholding medical care from you and waiting to see "if anything else happens"?

[sassysquirrel]

Would you want your mother to take care of you this way? Just keep putting off help - if you were bleeding would you want your mother to take you to a expert or someone who intends to be a doctor?

You are Peanut's mother - Please save his life again - give him to Stacey immediately! this is the only chance he has - she can get him vet, meds and whatever else he needs now - not tomorrow - now - Please!!!!

[Peanuts98]

:pissed NOT okay. How do you plan to care for this squirrel?


UHH WOW, so what should I do then???

[Peanuts98]

so far no one has helped me with his diarrhea problem!! DUH! PLEASE ANSWER MY REAL QUESTION!!!!!!

[Mochi&Mocha]

so far no one has helped me with his diarrhea problem!! DUH! PLEASE ANSWER MY REAL QUESTION!!!!!!

Here is an answer, there are a million and one reasons for diarrhea. The best way to figure out what's causing it is to let Stacey observe him and treat him. Someone with experience needs to take over.

[pappy1264]

What do you want us to do? We tell you what to do, you don't. The food you are feeding is wrong, you have not ordered the right stuff, you don't have a scale to even know how much he should be eating (or if he needed meds, how much to dose). If you can't get the things he needs to stop this, us telling you doesn't matter.

Fluids (pedialyte) for a few feedings. Then slowly start giving goats milk recipe, and working fv (which you don't have and have not ordered) in. He 'may' need meds for this if it is a parasite issue. I don't want this baby to die. Yes, they do die from having diarrhea, it depletes them of everything.

You have someone who knows what to do, has what is needed to do what needs to be done, yet you still don't want to let him go. I don't get it. You never did answer my question either. Do you plan to release this squirrel or are you keeping it for a 'pet'? I can only imagine you have no intention of releasing him, since you won't give him to someone who can save him. I don't get it.

[xHiCCUPx]

People have told you what needs to be done. It doesn't seem like you have the means to take care of him so you need to let someone who does take him so he can get the care he so desperately needs. I understand you think you love him but if you TRULY do love him you will do what's best for him and that's not to sit back and watch him slowly die because you refuse to let someone else care for him. You are young and have no job; do you honestly believe you can provide for him? If you want him to survive, do the right thing and give him Stacey.

As I said I know you're attached to him but it's the right thing to do. It's what's best for Peanut that should matter. Not what's best for you. It's not your life at stake here.

[island rehabber]

so far no one has helped me with his diarrhea problem!! DUH! PLEASE ANSWER MY REAL QUESTION!!!!!!
Say "DUH!" one more time and I will ban you REGARDLESS of whether we want your baby squirrel to live or not......:nono

He has diarrhea because either he has parasites which REQUIRE MEDICINE, WHICH YOU CANNOT GET, or he is not being fed the RIGHT FORMULA which is because you did not get it for him.

[sassysquirrel]

so far no one has helped me with his diarrhea problem!! DUH! PLEASE ANSWER MY REAL QUESTION!!!!!!


What are you feeding him? Have you ordered Fox Valley? Do you have any benebac? What solids are you feeding him? How often is he eating? How long has he had the diarrhea? What fluids are you giving him?

The others have answered your questions - it is just not the answers you want - you will have nothing at your home to treat him for this - that is why they are telling you to give him to Stacey - If he continues this way - he can't survive long - at the most a couple of days if you are lucky or he could die any minute - Have you read any of the stories on this board?

Please do what is best for your Peanut

[daniellenc]

You are the densest most ridiculous individual I have ever encountered- he needs MEDICATION FROM THE VET YOU KEEP SAYING YOU ARE TAKING HIM TO BRAIN CELL:soapbox So take him and until then he needs pedialyte that costs money every 2-3 hours just to keep his electrolytes in balance because otherwise his blood sugar will drop causing seizures or his sodium levels will get so low his heart will stop beating. You can also make a homemade re hydration solution that is similar with sugar, water, and salt which I am sure you have- look the amounts for the recipe up on here.

I think before you even think about demanding answers out of anyone else here you should jump down off your high horse where you apparently can't smell the rotting of your own feces and answer our questions as to why it is you still do not understand how fragile his life is right now. On a hunch I did some research and guess what?? Arkansas has animal cruelty laws that include wildlife sweetie and if that squirrel dies I promise you I personally will make sure your parents are charged with his death:wave123

[DipityDane]

I have been following this thread and would like to point a couple of things out. Firstly...in Arkansas although its legal for you take a baby from the wild and keep it as a pet....it is NOT legal to release without a permit. You also cannot transfer ownership. So please be sure that you want to keep this baby for the rest of its life(several years) and can provide for it physically, nutritionally and emotionally long after you have reached adulthood yourself :). Remember....if you cannot satisfy all of these needs you will have nothing but a wild soul held captive by the restraints of a domestic lifestyle. You care about this baby obviously....I know you want what is best.
Secondly you should know that if any point an animal is in a bad situation and is not able to be provided the care it needs by its finder, a rehabber can ask Arkansas Game and Fish to step in and confiscate the animal. This is essentially abuse and is not tolerated.
I know you love this baby and want badly to keep him but all health issues aside the fairest thing for him is to get to an experienced and licensed individual who can ensure he gets the best possible chance at a successful release and life in the wild. If you get the baby to Stacey he will get that chance. If getting baby to her is the issue maybe we can find someone driving that direction who can give baby a lift :)

[pappy1264]

:goodpost :goodpost :goodpost

[Kebtaz]

Im a new member here and I have been following this post and I must say that I'm appauled that you are so selfish to neglect this poor baby. I have saved many animals over my years but this is my biggest challenge due to the size of these baby squirrels. They go down hill very quickly!!! I have had my baby for 2 weeks now and have spent over 300.00 on her easy. These precious, defenseless babies need people to put there best interest first!!! I'm not trying to be mean but PLEASE give Peanut to someone that can care for him. This will probably be one of the hardiest decisions you ever make but if you love Peanut the way you say you do.....then do the right thing and allow Peanut to live!!!!!

[Peanuts98]

The Dr said there is no blood in poop, he just has diarrhea. Ill give yall more updates ASAP :thumbsup :D :thankyou :multi :jump He is getting his meds and being weighed. :rotfl

[xHiCCUPx]

I think its great that Peanut is finally getting meds but in my personal opinion he should be with Stacey. You made a big deal about a vet bill being $45 I can only imagine that he won't be getting what he needs (FV, HHB, veggies etc) because those things get expensive quickly. Not to mention the cages and things to go INSIDE the cage. You are young and you are jobless. I HIGHLY doubt your parents are going to be dishing out the dough it takes to raise a squirrel

[pappy1264]

What meds did he give you and what does he say he weighs? Did he tell you what the meds are for, did he do a fecal?

[Itchiku's dad]

still would be good to see a picture of the little boy.

[corear1014]

Are you home-schooled?:thinking Wondering who takes care of peanut while you're in school? :dono

[rainrshine]

I have followed this thread too and there are a lot of misinformation that is vague...

:thinking He is getting meds.... OK so what are the meds?

:thinking he is getting weighed.... OK so what is the weight?

If we went to the vet we have those answers! I'm starting to sense that everyone is being played by someone who needs attention. Peanut did not get bloody diarrhea until another poster had the same issue. The blood in the stool came right after that post. Same with the pneumonia...

Because this has become a popular post, it is feeding the attention that the owner seems to be looking for. If I were getting as much negative feedback as this I would have looked for another squirrel board if I were that concerned for my baby. There is no real concern for the baby because too many questions are left unanswered or with vague replies. I wonder if Stacey has caller ID... maybe she could check up on the baby. :thinking

[Peanuts98]

hey, Judge Judy called, she wants her job back!! :soapbox

okay I went back to see what peanuts could have eaten, My sister gave peanuts a carrot! could that give him Diarrhea?? :sanp3

The Dr is a friend and he said its no charge! :jump

KNR, esbiac. and small amounts of pediclyte. his poop has improved, still a bit liquid. And how to i get the fox vally formula?

I'll call stacy, but please can we stick to the real Question?? DUH! what brands of yogert should I give him? any ingredients I should look out for??

[ZonaB]

Look I know you're young I am too but you CANNOT afford this baby.
This is just sad. The baby NEEDS care.
I've had my girls for around a month and let me just say that I am out A LOT of money.
If you are going to come to these people and ask them to spend their very VAULABLE time helping you and not someone else.
How can you do this to a baby?
Saving a baby sqrl is a beautiful thing but...
What you're doing to this baby is causing it pain.
How long do you think that baby willl be satisfied in a small cage?
I spent 300 total on the release cage and that is their FOURTH cage.
I spent 40 on a bag of FV so I could have it shipped over night so that my babies wouldn't suffer.
And you are not going to be able to give this thing the care it needs.
You asked for money for the vet. I know you're 14 but wow. How immature.
This is just sad.
You are a child and you don't have the means of caring for this baby.
If I were you I would be ashamed of myself letting that little thing hurt to spare yourself.
I'm sure others viewers won't like this but I would rather nature take it's course and the baby have been eaten by a hawk than takin by some one who is unwilling to get it the help it needs.
I, personally, am BEGGING you. Give this baby up.
CLEARLY you aren't going to be able to care for it.

[Nancy in New York]

Island Rehabber, I think it's time to end this agony.:shakehead

[ZonaB]

One more thing.
We are adults here.
And if we are young people (like me)
We are RESPECTFUL!
These people know what they are talking about. They are educated adults and no one needs DUH!
In my openion you are the natiest person I've read on the board.
And just so you know order the fv online.
You'll have to borrow mommy's card.
As far as yogurt you want FULL fat plain yogurt but with his sensitive tummy...
I am sickened by this.

[xHiCCUPx]

I think it's HIGHLY unfair and EXTREMELY immature that you find it perfectly fine to demand answer to all of your questions (most of which you ignore anyway because it's not what you want to hear) yet when we ask you questions you don't bother answering them. Multiple times people have asked how much peanut weighs and what meds he is getting. BOTH of these questions are important and you would have been given the answer by your friend "the vet" so how bout you tells us? How much does Peanut weigh? You said he is gettin meds, what are they?

I also find it EXTREMELY sketchy that all of sudden his problems are caused by a carrot when in a different thread one of the members (Crazysquirrellady I believe) mentioned that she had killed off a few baby bunnies that way because they are hard on babies stomachs.

I'm starting to agree with rainrshine, this about NOTHING other than attention. Which is PATHETIC because you see toying with the life of an innocent baby as a good way of getting it. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Are you really 14, or are you 10??????????? Not to know that any babies, animal or human, do not eat carrots?
Not to know to ask before feeding such stuff and not to know to read Nutrition forum???????????
Don't you know that? "DUH"?

After all these days, going back and forth, you are giving him a "potion" of KMR, Esbilac and pedialyte?
Do you know how to read???????
Haven't you read that pedialyte and any formula cannot be mixed?
That KRM and Esbilac can kill a baby by causing serious issues? (oh, sorry, forgot that you don't seem to care if you end up killing this baby, literally, but first putting this baby through much suffering)

And why are only now asking how to get FV?
So, your previous "promises" to get FV were a lie, then?


The Dr is a friend and he said its no charge! :jump
I'll call stacy, but please can we stick to the real Question?? DUH! what brands of yogert should I give him? any ingredients I should look out for??
where did this "Dr friend" come from? Where was this "friend" when you could not get a vet and then, could not afford a vet, and then, this "friend" popped out of nowhere

You want to stick to the real "Question"?
Sure, the real Question is : Do you want this baby to live?
Do you want what's best for this poor animal, or do you want to end up killing or crippling it or making it non-releasable?

Another couple of real Questions:
How old are you, really?
And how well do you do at school?

Because from reading your posts and watching how you are torturing and slowly killing this baby, one comes to certain conclusions about your age and your IQ.... DUH!

~CUT~

KNR, esbiac. and small amounts of pediclyte. his poop has improved, still a bit liquid. And how to i get the fox vally formula?

Against my better judgement I am going to answer these questions for you for 2 reasons ONLY.

1. So you cannot come back and say that no one answered your questions.
2. For the precious little life that you are allowing to slip away while you type on your keyboard.

KMR & Esbilac are NOT made for squirrels, in fact they have been the sole reason for thousands of baby squirrels dying. If you have spent anytime reading the thousands of threads and posts on TSB (and we know you have) you would know this. These 2 formulas do NOT contain the nutrients a squirrel needs, which is why you have to add everything under the sun including the kitchen sink and then you will STILL have problems and the baby will most likely still be sick. They are nothing but TRASH.

Am I wrong or did you not post that you had gone to Wal-Mart and gotten everything you needed for the Goat's Milk Formula, which was given to you several if not many days ago? I believe this was one of the many "DUH" posts.

There are, that I know of, 3 websites where you can order Fox Valley formula. They are as follows:

1. http://henryspets.com/formulas/
2. http://www.foxvalleynutrition.com/shop/cart2.asp
3. http://www.squirrelsandmore.com/rehab-supplies/milk-replacers-and-specialty-diets-1/fox-valley-32-40-html.html

Fox Valley formula CANNOT be bought in stores, it MUST be ordered online. Period, end of conversation.


I'll call stacy, but please can we stick to the real Question?? DUH! You've been saying that for days...poop or get off the pot already!


what brands of yogert should I give him? any ingredients I should look out for??

The yogurt needs to be a FULL FAT yogurt. Anything that says, low fat, low calories, diet, etc. will NOT work.

Dannon makes some FULL FAT; however I do not know the exact product line name. You'll just have to look in the store and read the yogurt containers.

YoBaby yogurt in the 4 packs is also good.

Again, FULL FAT is what you need.

As for flavor, vanilla is received well by many squirrels. Do NOT get the ones that have all kinds of fruit in them.

:thankyou :goodpost I was getting suspicious last night and my training has taught me to observe before I react because there are always clues here and there. I love puzzles so this one was intriguing to me.

Good observation on the carrot association. I missed that one. It does look like we are getting info to post from other posts. Reminds me of Munchausen syndrome that involves the exaggeration or fabrication of illnesses or symptoms by a primary caretaker in order to obtain personal attention.

So Peanut, enlighten us... Are you home alone and incredibly bored and the poor squirrel is reaping the consequences?

Once again... Does the vet friend have a scale or is there a "vet friend"?
How much does Peanut weigh?
What meds did the "vet friend" give him?
How much are you feeding him?
Where are the pics? I know you are computer saavy, all 14 year olds are and probably have a smart phone. I know you have facebook.

It was smart of you to disable your email contact info too... A newb to computers would have never thought of doing that nor would they if they had nothing to hide.


I think it's HIGHLY unfair and EXTREMELY immature that you find it perfectly fine to demand answer to all of your questions (most of which you ignore anyway because it's not what you want to hear) yet when we ask you questions you don't bother answering them. Multiple times people have asked how much peanut weighs and what meds he is getting. BOTH of these questions are important and you would have been given the answer by your friend "the vet" so how bout you tells us? How much does Peanut weigh? You said he is gettin meds, what are they?

I also find it EXTREMELY sketchy that all of sudden his problems are caused by a carrot when in a different thread one of the members (Crazysquirrellady I believe) mentioned that she had killed off a few baby bunnies that way because they are hard on babies stomachs.

I'm starting to agree with rainrshine, this about NOTHING other than attention. Which is PATHETIC because you see toying with the life of an innocent baby as a good way of getting it. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Well, for all we know, there isnt even a squirrel here.

:thinking I started thinking that last night too! There are no pics except for the avatar which can be found all over the net... :dono

[xHiCCUPx]

:goodpost Agreed. I think this is just a bored child looking for attention.

[Peanuts98]

Wow thanks guys for the help..NOT! our vet told us what to do. get puppy milk,water down. feed him 5 ML every 4 hours, he is 3.03 grams Ill post a pic asap, its very hard to take a pic, hes always running around or jumping out of his cage lol and the vet has nurses who have worked with squirrels before and i can call them and ask for help any time. :) He has grown alot since 2 and 1/2 weeks ago, his poop is going back to brown and is more solid.

[xHiCCUPx]

Your squirrel weighs 3.03 grams?!? Well, no wonder he is sick! SMDH

[Peanuts98]

Here's his pic http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc7/s480x480/384278_354670661281947_665333063_n.jpg

Sorry I meant ounces lol!!!

[island rehabber]

"Puppy milk" will give him diarrhea.
AGAIN: WHO feeds the baby while YOU are in school, hanging out with friends, or just plain not feeling like being there with him every four hours nomatter what?

Hmmm? DUH?

[Peanuts98]

oh please, The Dr said it should help,and it has! :thumbsup Im homeschooled! and my mom and dad and older brother knows how to feed him. :wott

[Uno's Mom]

Island Rehabber, I think it's time to end this agony.:shakehead

I'm with Nancy.

[punkin'smama]

I'm with Nancy.
Me too. What a disrespectful brat. Poor Peanut.

[island rehabber]

Time to end this thread, for sure. We've all wasted our time and been taken for a spin. There are many true emergencies in this Forum that need our attention and this one is pointless. If we are to believe that Peanut is fine, the vet was free, the meds are great, the formula is perfect, and the picture is very cute.....


...even if it was actually taken in 2009.......:nono
(yeah, we got you, kid)

then we can leave this thread and go about our business of saving squirrels. Godspeed, Peanut......you're going to need Him on your side.

This Thread is now Closed. Can't say I am sad to see it go.
