I have an eight week old baby squirrel. I’ve had him since he was about 4 days old (that’s a guess). He’s been doing great. This is the second squirrel rescue I’ve handled. The first was last summer and TuLu is now living happily ever after in the woods behind my house. He visits frequently. This baby has been doing great but yesterday he seemed to have diarrhea and today there is blood in it. I’m scared to death. What can I do to help him. I can’t think of anything that has happened or anything different in his diet. He’s still drinking his bottle. PLEASE anyone that can help me help my baby please please let me know what to do. I would be at the vet if that was an option but it isn’t until Monday. PLEASE HELP!!!

I assume the blood is red? If so, it is very likely that his little digestive tract is just irritated from the diarrhea. What formula is he eating?

If you can give a weight, we can tell you how much Pepto Bismol, kaopectate, or immodium to give him to help with the diarrhea.
