I am a vet tech and I have been rehabbing baby squirrels for 2 years now. I recently got an adult squirrel who was shot with a pellet gun. I did xrays and spine is not damaged according to the xrays. The doctor thinks it must have damaged the nerves causing the paralysis. We did 2 days of dexamethasone shots with no improvement. I do not want to euthanize because she is eating, peeing and pooping and she seems to be warming up to me. I am starting to be able to pet her. I just feel bad that she just lays around all the time and doesn’t have much of an appetite. I got her to eat a little apple, avocado and blueberry. I have been giving her a little bit of squirrel milk thinking the fat and vitamins would be good. The bullet is still in her body which I am concerned about and will she ever warm up to me so I can make her happy? Any advice?
