Hi, we have a 4 year old squirrel, who up until 2 days ago was normal. ie eating playing etc. I have read on here about MBD and I think he has it, since we were stupid and offered him calcium blocks (but he did not eat them) and we did not push. His diet was nuts, sunflower seeds and some fresh fruit. We found him at the bottom of his cage two days ago-limp, not moving, lethargic, with hind leg and tail paralysis, some front. We immediately researched it and found this site-we have been giving him Esbilac, some calcium (600 mg a day and 20 iu of Vit D a day). He has perked up from the middle to the head, acting and behaving normal, he pees, has BM (normal in color and consistency), but-his hind legs and tail are still not moving. What should we do? If anyone could help-PLEASE.
I had this on wrong forum and got two answers-thank you. We would appreciate any help or advice. Thank you everyone.
