I've gained a group of about 10 wilds. About 8 of them will eat out of my hand. Two are now sick. One, "Patches" I'm almost positive has mange. The other, "Blinky" has a very bad swollen eye. I'm not sure if her eye is just an infection, or due to mange. The only antibiotic I have is Doxy-cycline HYC 100mg. I don't have a vet as I don't have any pets. And I'm not sure my Dr would give me a different antibiotic for squirrels. (Yes, not everyone loves them like we do!) So, for now, it's my only option. I have probiotics, but they also have digestive enzymes in them. I bought Ivermectin yesterday. I wanted to get advice here before I began medicating them.
"Patches'" mange is not terrible; she is still very active and eating well. "Blinky's" eye is getting worse. She cannot see out of it at all and the swelling is horrible! She is still eating and drinking, but I think the swelling is affecting her jaw. I hate to see them suffer. PLEASE HELP!
