One of my 5-6wk old male Eastern Grays managed to get one of his little toes caught in the corner of his cage. I had to take the cage apart to get it out; he wasn't sure if he wanted to bite me or help me, struggling and turning and twisting etc.
In the photo, the nail of the injured toe is curved under the adjacent toe, towards the camera.
I got him free, he's been licking his toe and holding it close to his chest. I'd like to give him something for pain. I have infant ibuprofen but need help with dosing.
Also, should I take him to the vet tomorrow (we have a safe vet here who will help squirrels) or use the wait-and-see approach.
