Baby with broken leg

[Oneocean]

Hurricane irma just passed. I have 2 babies from neighbors tree. Both warmed and taking pedialite. I'm experienced raising squirrels, but 1 is injured. Possible broken leg, hes, not moving it at all- just limp. Any suggestions? I have no internet other than cell phone- sorry for few details. 3 week old.

Do you have a scale? Any infant ibuprofen?

If you have a weight we can get you a dose to help make him comfortable until you get local help.

I don't have a weight yet, still trying to rehydrate and stabilize. I am in Tampa Bay- eveything is closed right now b/c we got hit by Hurricane Irma last night. Have 200 mg ibuprphen tabs I can crush. I'll get a wt as soon as I get them better rehydrated.

40 grams, but still dehydrated. 0.7 ml of pedialyte at a time is all they will take. No baby ibuprophen available, just regular 200mg. They are probably 2.5-3 weeks old. (Its been about a 1-1.5 yr since I've had babies/ just took the last release boxes of the tree!)

Looks to be front leg/shoulder. Vey limp- will not move that leg. Head /nose has some blood on it, but not actively bleeding.

Thanks

Is anyone helping you with this?

No one has gotten back with me. hes doing well overall and taking formula. Will move shoulder now. I think its his wrist. Should I just wait and see how he does?

I'm sorry, I lost track of this. Can you go out and buy infant ibuprofen yet? Can you post a photo or video to youtube and link it here? Poor little guy.

Have you looked at this? https://www.henryspets.com/baby-squirrel-care/. I had to revisit it this fall remind myself of things.

I assume you've transitioned to formula? How is he doing, is he rehydrating?

Hopefully getting some pain/inflammation management on board will help. Do you have a vet you could take him to for x rays?? If so, they could prescribe meds for you also.

Last year I had a little gal, eyes closed, no fur, fall from a roof and had a broken arm (we think) and it took her a bit to rehab but she was released the following spring and could smack her brother around quite easily within a couple months of getting her.

I sent you a pm.
