My squirrel a ibuprofen

[Squirrelly's Parents]

So our squirrel, squirrely, may have ate ibuprofen a few days ago. We did not think anything of it because he's acted normal the past 2 days. However, today he is acting very out of character he's not jumping from one to another person or running around the room or being his normal squirrely self. Instead, he is very I guess the word would be lethargic. He hasn't ate so my question to anyone is is it that Ibuprofen? What do I need to do to fix it? He's about eight months old my beautiful wife nursed him from probably a day or two old when she found him at the bottom of a tree. We treat him like one of the family he has a huge cage he has an excellent. He gets a exercise you get sunlight. Today he is not himself HELP!

Since this happened a few days ago, I do not believe there is not much you can do at this point. Large doses of ibuprofen can do damage to stomachs and intestines, so I would be concerned about his not eating. Hopefully he'll start eating soon and return to his normal squirrelly self.

I'll also mention that at 8 months, this is when MBD will start to manifest if he is not eating rodent block and a proper diet to prevent it. Some of the symptoms / signs you mention could be early MBD. If you are not familiar with Metabolic Bone Disease (MBD), it is something anyone that has a squirrel should familiarize themselves. Here is a lnk to the MBD forum:

Thank you very much for that information. My wife is very adamant about what he eats and it is definitely a rodent that. We will familiarize ourselves with the information on the link you sent. Thank you very much you are very helpful
