A poisoned adult female

[betzyman]

Hi friends, I would like to know what I can do for a mother squirrel wich is sick, I think she ate something poisonous. In the next door neighbor's backyard they throw lots of herbicide and fertilizer, it can be bad for wild animals?

Thank you in advance, and thank you for other times that I found help here.

Is she in your possession?
A charcoal product such as Toxiban or Acta Char can be used to lesson the effects, Milk Thistle is another that can be helpful. Other then that, flushing as in continued hydrating to get "whatever" through the system is about all you can do unless she can be taken to a safe vet that could try and treat her.

You say she's a mother? I don't know, but I wonder if fertilizer poisoning can be passed on in her milk. I wish there was a way to find her babies before she nurses them again, but I doubt it :(

She isn't mine, is wild from the tree of my backyard. Thanks God, her babies are recent weaned, they are at least 10 weeks old.
Few minutes ago, she drank water and has a little shaking.

I wonder if this is something else and not poison.

I just can't see a squirrel eating enough fertilize or herbicide to make them acutely sick. Herbicide would have a cumulative effect and cause illness in the long term as opposed to short term acute poisoning.

I wonder if she ate rat poison. Of course, that would cause acute sickness and death.

If she just weaned her babies, I wonder if she is run down and calcium depleted. I would try offering her some food. I would give her some avocado and maybe some peeled grapes for hydration and sugar. This might perk her up a little. If poison is involved I doubt that there is much that you can do. :sadness

Yesterday she was pretty ok.
My backyard squirrels have plenty of food, so I don't think she has a lack of calcium. At least she drank water. I only watching over her of any disturbance.

Update:
The squirrel has been healing slowly, but she is much better now. After looking better, I can deduce that she was not poisoned but attacked by something, dog or cat or something else. She doesn't show external injuries, only it lacks hair some spots, maybe its wounds are internal.
Anyway, she is better now, and the wonderful thing was watching how her babies looked after their mom. :Love_Icon
