What are you feeding him?
If you hold him up to your ear, do you hear a "clicking" sound when he breaths?

Please answer the question about the type of formula you are feeding! I asked you this when you posted the other day. It may be what is CAUSING the problem so we really need to know!

Do you have a weight on this little one?
If this is aspiration pneumonia you will need Clavamox, (animal ab.) Augmentin (Human ab)
Cirpro (Human Ab), or Baytril (Animal ab). All you will need is one pill and we can dose it for you.
You will need a weight on this little one as we dose meds and feed by their weight.
What size syringes are you using.
I posted this earlier (BELOW) in your other thread, not sure if you saw it.
Please read the baby squirrel care guide. It's a quick read.

Hi lilmommajen!
I see your posts just fine, so they're getting through. If you could answer Nancy in New York's question about which, if any, antibiotic you can get, they can help you dose it. Hang in there, these people will do ANYTHING for squirrels.

Has this person received help with meds? They seemed to vanish off the board.

I sent them a direct message on 03/02 with my phone number since it seemed she was having trouble navigating the board... I did not hear from her though....

Where in LA are you located? I sub under a licensed rehabber if you need someone to take him. Or I can help you find someone close to you.

I agree. If you cannot get a weight, please let us know. It might be possible to guess at a weight if you could get a picture of him, especially a picture next to a ruler or something that indicates size. I am not a rehabber, feel free to correct me if I am wrong.
