Don't know if this is life threatening or not, but figured this is a good place to start..
I found this thread, but not really much help solution wise, awesome informative wise: http://thesquirrelboard.com/forums/showthread.php?45853-Anyone-else-ever-seen-Food-Seizures-in-a-squirrel&highlight=seizures
I got a little boy today who has constant food seizures that last for about 5 seconds each then goes back to sucking on the nipple.
During his second feeding he started seizing up pretty badly. Arched his back kinda froze up and his mouth gaped for a good few minutes. I panicked, I admit. I didn't give any molasses because he had eaten almost all of his formula already. I held him when it started and pet him during it. He eventually came out of it, but what do I do next time that happens? What can I do to prevent them? What kind of long term damage will this cause? How do I check to see the causes? I check the Wild Mammal Babies book, but there's a lot of variables...
Sorry, still kinda panicking.
