Squirrels will NOT pee and they barly poop

[leighannemichelle]

Yesterday my husband did a bunch of trees and when doing so a nest fell with mom branches crushed mom but babys are safe. This happend at nine am yesterday morning i drove out to his tree sight because he had called me any way i immediately took them home put them on heating pad, after warming the babys (there is three two males one female) they call had a bit of blood from nose and their breathing didnt sound good but now it does...they look 100% better and i have been giving them Pedialyte plain kids. They have been drinking it fine every 2 hours they wont pee i have tried everything i could think of. They are probably1 week of age about three inces long. One male weighs 30 grams one male weighs 32 grams female weighs 31 grams. Nine this morning i started Esbilac puppy replacer milk they have had two feeding each of the milk. I am leeping them warm i am stimulating them to use bathroom but so far nothing.

USe a cotton ball and warm water and be patient. Very patient, Chester the last squirrel, took forever to pee. Be gentle with them and softly wipe the area.

Be sure to check them for bloat, and do a skin test to make sure they are hydrated.

How much milk are you giving them? Standard is 5 to 7 % of their body weight. I would think they would need fed every 2 - 3 hours

Im sure others will come along soon to help but for now don't give up and keep trying to pee them. Pooping can take a little longer so be sure to watch for bloat.
