PA Babies, possible AP

[Scrpa18]

I’ve got two baby grey squirrels for about week now. They both weigh about 107.93G /3.8oz Their was a bad windy storm knocked down the tree with the nest with power line etc. baby squirrels are about 4-5 week old the eyes are not open yet I been reading a lot stuff about how to take care of baby squirrels. I noticed the last feeding . I heard a slight clicking noise and got very nervous and the little girl does sneeze little they both still eat really good but maybe it’s too fast at times I don’t know what to do now I don’t want anything happen to them.

I don’t want to get in any trouble because I’m trying to help these guys out with this pandemic that’s going on with many places closes can I take them to a vet ?

If they have Aspiration Pneumonia (AP) the clicking will be persistent with each breath. They will often have a click sound right after eating that goes away within a few minutes. Check 30 minutes after feeding and see if they are clicking then? Other signs of AP are loss of appetite and lethargy.
