Neuro baby with seizures.

[squirrelfriend]

Hi. I got two boys in last night at work. A lady came in asking for esbilac. And told me she was actually looking for it for a couple of squirrels. She ended up bringing them to me about an hour later. If I remember correctly they were found in the neighbours yard. One had fallen from the tree. Not sure if the other fell but only one had a bloody nose. Both are boys, one black one brownish black. The black one has the bloody nose. Black ones eyes are open. The brown ones are not. Both were severely dehydrated. The black ones pupils were white. After giving fluids the whiteness started to go away. The eyes are fine now.

The he problem now is that the black one is having seizures. What should I do? Any advice is appreciated.

He also seems to have spasms and facial tics

Are they emaciated? Give some sugar syrup, or molasses or the like just in case this is low blood sugar.

This one could have a head injury - he has a bloody nose?

[squirrelfriend]

Yes he has a bloody nose. There is still a tiny amount of blood coming from his nose. It's diluted in clear liquid. He's spasming quite frequently now. He's definitely a neuro case. I'll try the sugar water. Thanks

[squirrelfriend]

Yes they are emaciated.

The seizures seem to have subsided for the time being. He still shows spasmy like movements but not seizing. I hope that's over. Maybe the sugar water helped. Thanks crittermom! Anybody else have advice for a five week old neuro baby? Things to do or avoid? I'm up for all suggestions. He's a real sweet black boy.

Here are some pictures of the neuro baby and his brother. The first is of the neuro one. The second one is of him and his brother sleeping after breakfast. The last is the brother. These two were extremely dehydrated and emaciated when I got them two days ago. They still have a ways to go but already look way better than before.
