Hello all, please help if you can. My boyfriend just called, baby squirrel took ill quite suddenly. I'm at work so can't put eyes on her but here's what he said is happening.
"She just quit moving, in the sitting position (I don't think he means sitting up, but crouched) with the her head down."

She is breathing OK and her diet is good at the moment, still wants formula once a day, on primate chow, and some nuts and veggies. Please any advice would be appreciated!

Her stool has seemed a bit soft lately, but all normal with her otherwise.

How much formula does she get daily and what kind?

What brand of primate chow and how much does she eat?

How many nuts does she eat in an average day?

The description sounds like a posture of pain (head tuck) but a picture would be most helpful to confirm this...

Hello. She is on the Esibalic puppy formula, the proper one with the blue band at the top. Sometimes she really wants it and sometimes isn’t that interested, so I would say she takes between five and 10 cc per feedings Zupreem (sp?) primate chow, and between two or three nuts the day. No More head tilting kind of moving around OK but not great . .Started her on MBD treatment just in case.
