sick squirrel

[kim3962]

My squirrel had a seizure this morning. Has not ate or drank anything. I have started him on electrolytes so do I mix with anything besides the water it calls for? He wont drink it

Can you give us the particulars:
Age, weight, where did he come from, how long have you had him, where do you live,
Most importantly, tell us exactly what and how much he eats.

[Milo's Mom]

what kind of squirrel is it?
How old is the squirrel?
What does the squirrel's diet consist of daily? (spell out each and everything the squirrel eats, item by item)

These are important questions...we need to know the answers to advise you properly.

To cut to the chase on this one, if you're not feeding your squirrel rodent blocks or some kind of source of calcium (and other nutrients) he probably has MBD. The symptoms show up right at the end and include seizures, paralysis, and death. If this is it, you need to start the following treatment NOW. Not tomorrow, NOW in order to hopefully arrest and reverse the condition.

If that isn't it, let us know and we'll discuss further.
