Wrigley is 5-6 weeks old and has a possible neurological issue. When we got him I didn't notice anything, all he would do was eat and sleep. Now he is getting more excited at food time and is spending more time awake. His head stays below and tilts to the side. He tends to do circles, he falls on his back a lot when moving around. He is friendly and happy, it has a great appetite, he poops and pees beautifully, the only issue is his lack of balance. He has no drainage from his ear but he does scratch at it frequently. There is only one vet locally who will deal with him and he cannot be seen until Tuesday. It is obviously not life-threatening but it breaks my heart. He wants to move around and be active he just doesn't go far. Any thoughts or suggestions? Have any of you had squirrels with similar issues? I will post a video of him if that's possible on the board. If not I can post it on my public Facebook business page so we don't have to deal with privacy issues & friend requests. I have prior squirrel experience but haven't seen anything like this. Thanks in advance for your ideas, you all are such wonderful fellow squirrel lovers.
