PLEASR HELP SWOLLEN FOOT!

[LittleBabySquirrel]

I fed 7-week old Toby and put him to bed for the night. An hour or so later my father said he had been moving around his cage and sure enough, he was awake. I set him on my bed to play with him to tire him and noticed he wasn't using his left hind leg. Then I noticed the swelling. Even his toes seem swollen. He keeps grunting. My first instict told me to put ice on his foot, but I'm unsure as to whether this is a break and needs furthur treatment or if its a sprain from getting his foot caught in something? I want to do the right thing for Toby, I don't want my baby squirrel hurting! Any suggestions?

(I will post pics as soon as I can)

Hi LBS, Help is coming. Sit tight.

Just need some background info on little Toby (I have a squirrel named Toby too!).

How did you find him?

What kind of box/cage are you keeping him in? Heat?

What have you been feeding him?

What has his daily routine and activity level been?

Any details you can think of.

Gammas Baby and I posted at the same time, sorry.
