I have a baby Eastern grey that we found in our yard. We were going to raise and release but she's having seizures and we're not skilled or equipped to care for her properly. Looking for a GOODBYE rehab in central Pennsylvania.

Others should be on soon and can advise on rehabbers in your area. In the meantime rub some molasses or syrup inside the babies mouth.

Please answer these questions so that we can help you better.
Age, weight and what exactly is the squirrel being fed and how much. Is the baby on heat? Please be as specific as possible as far as what care you have given and any injuries that the squirrel might have. Thanks and hang on help will be here soon.

We found her in our yard Monday morning, soaking wet. It had rained hard the night before and we suspect she fell from the nest. We didn't feed her right away, just gave her water, which she drank sparingly, but she was urinating so we got Esbilac and started syringe feeding her. She weighs 170 grams and we estimated her to be about 10 weeks old. She's drinking between 10 and 15 cc of Esbilac, 4 times a day, and nibbling on rodent block and drinking water in between feedings. She has had 2 seizures now, one yesterday afternoon, and one this evening. She seems to be regulating her body temps, as she's warm when I pick her up.

The Director of Centre is one of the best in the state. She is by the book and some might even say hard core, but she knows her stuff and is held in high regard by her colleagues.

Next closest is in Lancaster County unless you want to go out towards Pittsburgh...Somerset area.

I ended up taking her to Somerset to Native Path Wildlife Center. She's on meds and doing ok so far! You can see her on facebook if you follow the rehabs page. Thanks so much for everything!

For future reference, Kritter Kamp is in Marion City, PA (more "central" than Somerset).
