I have a 6 month old squirrel which had a seizure about 1 month ago & just had another one. A friend had seen the first seizure. I just saw this one & it was long (lasted at least 45 seconds) and was very violent. I have been giving her grapes, which I just learned should be peeled and not just washed. Is there anything I can do for her? She eats a diet of fruit, nuts, corn & seeds. I had just given her a little bit of banana before she had this seizure. Are bananas ok? She loved it. Thanks so much for any feedback!

Thanks for you help. She relaxed for a short time and now she is actually eating a nut. She is also making small sneezing sounds. Should I still give her a Tums? If so, how much?

:goodpost Gamma I copied and pasted that to put on the fridge for a guide line for chipper's diet since he will be moving to solids in a few weeks.

Please follow GB's advice. Insufficient calcium absorption causes MBD, and can lead to death. Your squirrel needs to be put on a proper diet.
