My little grey Jerry who is about 11 weeks puked up white stuff. It looked like thick formula but he hasn’t had any for a week. He weaned himself a week ago. Diet has been normal veggies HHB, and occasional pecan. His heart rate is very rapid around 132 a minute. No poison, but he did walk in the grass with my hubby. He may have chewed a plant. Took 1cc of pedialyte, very worried. Laying on my chest currently.

Keep hydrating him. Even if it's plain warm water with a pinch of salt, hydrate hydrate. Flush the stuff out of his system. Poor sweetie. Check him for any bug bites, too. Hopefully there were no chemicals on that grass?

I have had a couple of my released squirrels vomit. One did it while still in the RC. I had given her a hibiscus flower, which is on the safe list. I stood there and watched her eat it, and then puke it up. I have no idea why she did it, but I just assumed it didn’t agree with her. After she vomited it up she seemed fine. :grin2

I hope your little guy recovers quickly.

After he puked his heart rate increased to 168 and lethargic. Clicking. I started baytril because I was worried he’d possibly aspirated. Since on antibiotics he’s doing better. Still isn’t drinking as much. Any ideas to get him to drink
More? I use a shallow dish. I’ve never had much luck with water bottles. He doesn’t eat his HHB like he should. I’m going to
Buy the picky eater bites. Thanks for all your help!! Gayle is an angel!
