Need Ideas on what's to do about Lola's Red Rash and LACK of Appetite.

[HappyLittleSquirrely]

She scratches around her eyes alot.I think it's mainly about stress and bad diet and should be patient, but she is very slow to eat. In the mornings she's active . she so picky about food.it's been 7 days since i've gotten her. has anyone seen this before?

The irritation is just around her eyes? Not on any of the rest of her body?

I am really not sure about that one. It sure does look annoying for her though! I will try to direct a few here who might know the answer.

Do you have children's benedryl?
Did she come to you this way?
What kind of detergent are you using?
This almost looks like some allergic reaction to something.
Poor Baby! :Love_Icon

She was this way when i got her. Maybe what was at her previous house in the bedding. She's moved to a new nest . I'll remove her old bedding and replace it. i only used that bedding for a comfort thing in the transition.

Yeah see if that helps. I can dose benedryl for you if you need it.
Do you have a weight on her?
Those itchies have to really be bothering her. :(

With a syringe into the corner of her mouth. It will only be a little bit. Is there any food that she really loves?

With a syringe into the corner of her mouth. It will only be a little bit. Is there any food that she really loves? She's still settling in and doesn't trust me or anyone. I'm afraid to rock the boat and confirm her reasons for mistrust. Still not sure what food she likes. well,, i know she'll eat Nuts like nothing flat,but iv'e tried prepared food and fruit ,avocado laced with vitamins, ect, she's eaten henery block ,but she seems to be not extremely interested in food unless it's whole nuts.

Do you have any almond butter?

[sassysquirrel]

Do you think it could be mange?

It sure does look painful and inflamed. It looks like it is getting worse. Poor girl.

Larry I know you are still working on trust issues - but is there anyway to get
her to a vet? or is that possible?

Or if there is something you need I can send you - just let me know.

There is a benedryl cream
would she let you her rub her face, even the silver would help.

Benedryl takes like candy she may very well lap it from a syringe. Even Ellie will take Benedryl and Ellie takes nothing. Syringes are evil according to Ellie.

Not sure if a Vet is a good idea at this point yet,but if it gets worse i might have to consider it. I will buy benydryle and almond butter tommorrow. right now she's sleeping. She's a very tired squirrel. think last week really zapped it out of her. She's like a ten year old squirrel but is only almost three. i've gotten used to PiTi's ready for anything youngster vibe.
