Baby won't urinate

[Squirrel Whisperer]

I have a baby Eastern Gray that was severely dehydrated. Eating well, but will not urinate. It's been 3 days. She is very bolted. Only pooped twice; one small pill each time. I'm very worried. Stimulating and warm cloths on belly haven't helped. Suggestions PLEASE!

Immerse her in warm water to her waist. If her spine is not injured, she should urinate for you. let her soak for about 10 minutes and rub her tummy from the armpits to her bottom.

How much does she weigh in grams? How much are you feeding her and how often? If she is eating between 5-7% of her body weight I would have her checked for a UTI?

That worked! She pee peed! I'm so glad. I knew about soaking but was hesitant to try. She looks relieved! Thanks so much!

Is she fully hydrated? Does she pass the pinch test?

Well, I got one thing fixed and another problem has surfaced. Roxanne now has light grees, stinky, soft poops. Also, she has slacked off on eating. As my Grandmother would say, "She looks wormy." Im thinking coccidia. Can I get the treatment without seeing a vet?

How much is she eating? And what formula ?

How much does she weigh?
A UTI was what I was thinking too.

What area are you in? Maybe someone could recommend a vet.

heading to the vet today with Roxanne. I'm not taking chances.
Thanks all!

Baby Roxanne didn't make it. Vet said just too sick to pull out of it. He's great with all animals. We were going to try a couple of things but she was too weak. I'm amazed at how fast they go down. Thanks everyone for all the help.
