My 2 week old baby squirrel is having yellow watery poop. I am giving 50% cow milk with 50% water and small ammount of sugar. What should i do now, can u tell me any medicine?

The milk you’re feeding is causing the diarrhea. I’m attaching a link from this forum that explains what items can be found in India to support raising a squirrel. https://thesquirrelboard.com/forums/showthread.php?60674-Re-2-week-old-indian-palm-squirrel

If by chance you can’t find the milk source, here is the recipe for homemade goats milk formula.

Homemade Goat Milk formula (3 tbs goat milk, 3 tbs plain yogurt, 2 tbs heavy cream, 1/2 egg yolk) or Fox Valley formula, as soon as possible. (If you can't find goat milk, double the yogurt.)

Cows milk is not good for squirrels. Provide extra water in between feedings to replace some of the liquid lost from diarrhea.
