We're caring for a 2nd little red, she's about 4 months old. She was a rescue a lady found at about 8 weeks our guess, found near a fast-food stand, barely moving and dehydrated. The lady was unsure what to do and asked if we could help. In the last 8 weeks, we've fed her baby goat formula, she bounced back to full of energy after 1-2 weeks. Her health, fur, skin and energy seem great. She has grown well, getting close to adult size now. Full of beans, loves to get out and run in the house every day.
This morning she began throwing up a bit, not eating much, and become less active this afternoon. She's thrown up a few times today so far. Her vomit is light mush and smells a bit like nuts, nothing vile. We're getting worried what this could be?
We stopped the formula about a week ago, as she was gradually resisting it. We started her gradually on some HHB 3 weeks ago, lettuce, berries, watermelon, slice of fresh pear or apple, some nuts... likes all that. Has a water bottle on side of her pen. Oh and we've given her a few spruce-cones that she likes to tear apart for the seeds inside. A week ago she began stashing items in a corner pile of her pen.
Wondering what she has eaten to get sick like this, or what we've done wrong. Any thoughts? 4 of us caught covid 2 weeks ago and have it pretty good. Can squirrels catch colds from us?
