New here. Please bare with me. My squirrel was crippled when he was a baby in a tree that was cut down. Have had him since early spring. Everything worked fine except he would drag his back legs, back at tail obviously hurt as well. He is always full of energy, and climbs around the cage, and uses his wooden purches like a gymnest. He must have got his foot caught in the cage as he loves to run around the sides. He had a bad bed sore like spont on his heal. worked on it for a 2 weeks thought we were making progress. went to play with him 2 days ago and it was worse than ever, he must have got it hung again. cleaned it up put some anitbiotic on it. Went back and it was a nightmare, the foot was swollen, he was hot, and looked like he chewed his little toe off. Giving Baytril, looks scabbed over but the top of his foot is swollen again, can tell he is in pain but still active. He is feverish. Can anyone tell me how to help him with the fever, and pain. I have seen such contrations on; aspirin, ibuprofen, acedaminiphen (tylenol), metacam. Please can anyone help me help him. He is so sweet and gentle. He was a miracle. Refuse to let him down now.
