I’m new here
But I have two baby squirrels I’ve raised them since they were probably 2-3 days old, now they are 5 weeks old so one squirrel is healthy the other looks like it’s tired all the time and her leg is swelled up i cat tell if it’s broke or MBD I can touch the area and she doesn’t cry

I don’t know who to take her to in my area I’ve called our zoo I’ve called majority of our vets around here and still have no luck on where to take her, so idk what to do...

You really need a gram scale to know how much they should be eating.

Has that leg been swollen or did it just start? Was there any bruising?

no bruising and it just showed up around yesterday, she's crawling and using both hind legs, but she won't use her paw as in she won't open it or even try to latch on to my finger with it

and she's eating 3.5ccs everytime
