Hi all. Last week after a storm, I was brought this little chipmunk who was found washed out in a ditch covered in mud. Currently he weighs 39 grams and is eating formula pretty well and also occasionally will nibble on rodent block banana and avocado. I notice after a few days that he doesn't use his front legs very much but does have the use of them. I chalked that up to his being inexperienced in walking and using those legs.
I notice that he also seems to always lean to one side. Hopefully the picture gives you an idea. I took a little video of his walking around so you can see how he leans to the left. Is this in any way attributable to his being so little and Young or does this look like a possible birth defect or other problem that I might be able to address?
https://youtu.be/atAtglqfEbo here is the video. Any help.or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
