First of all :Welcome to the squirrel board.If your not taking the baby to a vet just because its illigal to keep a squirrel, its a bad thing coz you are putting the life of the baby at risk.
The blisters are caused by 2 things.1.he is not clean.you should clean him after his every meal with a damp warm cotton ball and let him poo, pee.& then he must be cleaned well.
2.Babies suckle their body parts.that causes blisters sometimes.

The best thing is to take him to a vet or a rehabber.

i know that it is illegal in my state(which is crazy) but over the years i have raised lots of them(an released) with no prob this is my first time to have a problem.i do clean him after each meal an all during the day an night.i am checking in on getting my rehab licences.is there anything that i can give him or put on him any help would be great:thankyou ps he's 5 mounths old his wenie is swelled a little (i,ve have tryed to take him to every vet around here but they refuse to see him

It sounds like irritation from urine. I would try to wipe him with a warm rag fairly often. You could also rub some triple antibiotic ointment on his parts. That will help to kill any infection.

[chipysquirrel]

thanks BuckeyeSqrl,is there a certain brand triple antibiotic ointment i should get?

[BuckeyeSqrl]

No particular brand. Just make sure it is a triple antibiotic ointment without pain killer. Ointment will work better than cream because it will repel moisture.

If this squirrel is five months old than he shouldn't have any urine burns. That would make him about 20 weeks of age, he should be eating on his own and keeping himself clean. I would say their is something more going on with him such as a bladder infection. What has his diet consisted of and what kind of formula did you raise him on? Also, what kind of squirrel is he?
