REALLY Need help Baby Squirrel Zoe, FREAKING OUT, NOT MAMMA CALL THIS TIME

[cswoodworth]

Okay, after I got advice from before I spent more time with her and they stopped, then all of the sudden it started again, only worse. she does this very frequently even when i hold her, if i go to pet her head to try and calm her she sticks her hands up in the air and starts squeaking again and im not sure what going on and its scaring me.

What is the noise like? Does it seem like she is in pain?

[cswoodworth]

Its exactly like before, really high pitched and when she does it she opens her mouth really wide and puts her arms up in the air.

sometimes a nut will distract them... dunno what else to suggest

[SammysMom]

That sure sounds like the mama call. Is she nice and warm and in a dark secure place?

[riefderrico]

Does it sound like "oinking"? Or is is more like crying? Oinking is a danger call usually doing from up high and they go into a sort of trance until they are done. Nothing to be alarmed about. What does it sound like?

Is there anyway that you can video tape this, even if just for the sound?
Is it possible that she has problems with her sight?

[SammysMom]

I wondered about her hearing also Nancy, what do you think?

I would love a video, it would help a lot. Anything is possible, we need to see and hear it I think to help determine what may be going on.. :grin2

She had a seizure while I was out to buy another blanket for her and now she wont eat, drink, and she just sleeps. I can't get a bowel movement from her.

[SammysMom]

How old is she? What is her diet? Put a bit of molasses or maple syrup on her gums.

[swimmergirl]

I don't know if this is the same or not- but when my girl was having her seizures, she did something similar- a really high pitched squeak/squeal, arched her back, opened her mouth wide, etc.

I made a paste of sugar and water and rubbed it in her mouth with a Q-tip (she wouldn't suck during/after a seizure) and it seemed to help. The same thing with some molasses and/or honey worked too.
