possible squirrel in need of help

[tsquirrel]

I found this squirrel on the bottom of a tree, possibly fell out, squirrel is not moving much but breathing, dry discharge from nose possibly mouth, and lots of pesticides. it looks about 8 weeks old, I am able to hydrate it with a hamster water bottle. What to do now?

:)Hi tsquirrel, Thank You for rescuing this Lil' One, the hydrating may have to be done one drop at a time, allowing the squirrel time to swallow. Warm, dark and quiet is the protocol, and the head should be pointed downward to prevent aspiration. If he could lick fluid from a teaspoon this would be a safe option to the water bottle, and if you could rub some syrup (any syrup) on his gums without being bitten please do.

A photo of the Lil' One would be very helpful, you could email one to atpat1963@gmail.com and it can be posted for you, More advice will follow please stay online.

Are you meaning parasites as in fleas?
Is it drinking from the water bottle?
Would it be possible to post a picture?
