Hi everyone my mother has rehabilitated several squirrels one of the squirrels was a special needs squirrel had head trauma which made her spin I came home she's not doing well it seems as if the head trauma is back her stomach seems bloated she just seems very off in her mannerisms are off as well should I give a dosage of gabapentin or something it looks as if she's in pain she's only a few months old I will post a video showing behavior
I've been trying to call around to see if any that would take her to do an x-ray or something like that no one is taking her please help

Hi Jrcm408:
I'm apologize for the fact that that you have not yet had a response to your post! How is you Squirrel doing? My post should bump your thread back into view! Hopefully someone will be able to help with a Vet and also some specific suggestions for treatment. It would help to know your Squirrel's weight and the particular history of the head trauma with details of location and the presence of any initial obvious injury such a bleeding for an example. It would also help to know what signs of the head injury your Squirrel showed soon after the incident and the further evolution of symptoms as time move on to the present. A number of Squirrel Board members use prednisolone or a similar corticosteroid for symptoms referred to a head injury. This is an option. Do you have any steroids available? As far as posting a video, this would probably quite helpful but you can't post a video directly thru TSB. You would need to upload it to YouTube and then post a link within your thread. Again, I am sorry that you have not had a response to your post!
Regards,
SamtheSquirrel
