please give us more info
formula
how she was found
when
why a seizure
age and weight in grams
can you post a pic of her
does she have heat source
describe vomit appearance
get her warm first thing... make a rice buddy and hold her near it
a sock filled with dry rice or beans heated in microwave for 20 seconds, squish around so no hot spots wrap her in fleece with it, get herv warm before doing anything else.:grouphug

YES, I would give her 2 rounds of Pedialyte before trying to give any type of formula. This GNC stuff is not good for baby squirrels --- can you get goat's milk?

how old is she?
how often was she being fed?
how much was she drinking each feeding?
do you have molasses? or log cabin syrup?
is she lethargic?
I agree with IR, get some pedi in her ..slide the syringe in the side of her mouth pointing up toward the roof of her mouth, slow is key..
