Mr. Ezekiel Peeks

I would like to begin by saying THANK YOU!!! This forum undoubtedly saved my Peeks life!! ������
In August of 23 I saw my three dogs, nose to the ground, not moving a muscle. When I walked over to see what had gotten their attention I found Mr. Ezekiel Peeks lying there helpless in the dirt. I fell in love instantly.
I estimate Peeks was about a week when he saved me. I could never have imagined the in depth care an infant squirrel needs!!! They are truly amazing creatures and I never would have stopped to recognize this if it weren't for Peeks.
Anyhow, even though I've been stalking the forum for months, I've finally joined. The day has come that I need to face the reality of a possible narrowed urethra. Peeks has had wein issues from the start. I believe that's the reason he got booted from the nest. So his urine stream has never really been but maybe a little stronger than a trickle. I did my best to make him heal properly but none the less here we are. Recently however his groin area has been remaining damp. I gave a round of amoxicillin thinking it was a UTI but it changed nothing. You're probably thinking ok just take him to the vet. But unfortunately I am not a licensed rehabber and can not just take him to the vet. I looked into being licensed (I'm located in upstate NY) but the test isn't even until August. I definitely want him seen before then. I really don't know what to do. I love him so much and I want him to be well. Some direction would be so awesome. Thank you!!!]326734
P.S. The pic is sideways �� and the other is his urine sample
