New baby not peeing.

[Peachesmom]

Hubby brought me a baby girl home today, shes about 4 weeks old. She was dehydrated. Ive fed her pedilyte 2 times now, and she hasnt peed for me. Is this normal since she was dehydrated?

This is very normal...... your little one needs 8 to 12 hours of hydration before her little body will be hydrated enough to give you any urine. Just keep up the pedialyte over night and into tomorrow morning then do the pinch test to check for hydration before you start feeding Esbilac with Probiotics with a 1cc syringe at 5-7% of the squirrels body weigjt.

Thank you very much for the fast reply...I will take care of her...ty

Off topic...Does your new girl have a white spot of fur on her paw/forearm? That's interesting.

I think its light grey

I took in a little one around that age that had blood in her pee for the first couple of days - she was dog caught and it most likely was the result of an internal injury. There really wasn't anything I could do for that and thankfully she was ok. I will be praying the same for your little girl.:Love_Icon:grouphug

Im not sure how far they fell out of the tree. She has a red spot on her belly.

Oh this is so sad.
I wonder if Spanky will take this little angel.
She needs buddies and she'll fit right in with the
other three.:w00t

Can you post pictures of the bloody urine and the belly spots?

[Peachesmom]

Dark red was this morning at 7am, light red was at 11 am, she peed alot more at 11am. You can see the little bruise on her right leg.

[Peachesmom]

At 7pm feeding, she peed clear.. Yeah...
Shes eating 5cc every 4 hours...I started her on diluted formula. Shes doing good.
Where the red sore is on her belly, its a little hard under it, hopefully she is healing now...:grouphug:Love_Icon:Love_Icon

How much does she weigh?
How and why are you diluting the formula?
Which formula are you using?

[Peachesmom]

She weighs 75g. I fed her pedilyte for 12 hours, I was told to do 25% Esbalic formula/75% water for a couple feedings, then 50%/50 water the same, then 75%/25% water til full strength to get her use to the formula.

Diluting formula

Diluting formula

Not sure where this came from but you NEVER mix formula with hydration solution/pedialyte.
Here's an excellent guide.

Mixing with water....

Just worrying that there is only one baby. Any chance that there were more or that they are still with mama?

[Peachesmom]

Dixie was alone when I got her, shes now 5 months old and doing great. This little girl fell from a tree.

[SammysMom]

That's what worries me. There is almost never only one to a litter and yet they do fall one at a time because one goes out seeking help first and the others may wait but still need help. If not mama might take her back if given a chance to do so. Did this happen close to where you live so that you could check for others or to see if mama is looking for her baby?

[Peachesmom]

It wasnt close to me at all, my husband trims power lines, she was put on a shirt at the bottom of another tree for hours, mom didnt come back. So he brought her home.
