Hello everyone....I recently found 4 baby squirrels who had toppled out of what appeared to be 4 different trees. I estimated them to be about 5-6 weeks of age, and brought them inside to try to help these little guys through (yes, guys...all were boys). I scared a neighbors cat away from one, but too late... I ended up just taking the 3 in. My daughter and I set up a cozy home with an incubator, and I promptly looked up what to give them. I have them on Esbilac now, but on Sunday night the only thing I had to offer was diluted syrup feed from 3 cc syringes. The tiniest one my daughter dubbed Chestnut, who had some bloody discharge from his nose, made it nearly 2 days. On the night before my daughter's 14th bday he passed on while we were with him....she was totally devasted because, being the smallest, he had captured her heart. I tried warning her that the prognosis for him was not very good....but it is never, ever easy. We started her birthday out by burying him under the lilacs....not a happy moment. The others ( named Chip and Dale....I know, wrong species and not very original were doing wonderfully. After yesterday's first feeding, we went to the nursery to find that Chip had died. I was totally dumbfounded. By all appearances they were both doing so well. I am now completely paranoid that something will happen to Dale. I'm looking for any advice on what I may be doing wrong. It would just kill me to lose him, too. I did try calling a rehabber right away, and unfortunately I probably picked the only one who was just SO not nice (or helpful) in any way, shape, or form. The other one who is somewhat local is away on holiday. Just for a bit of background on me, I had worked as a vet tech for 2.5 years, and just recently switched jobs so that I could have the all important health insurance...I've touched base with my co-workers about this often over the last week, but squirrels aren't their forte. Please, please, please....any help would be greatly appreciated. I've cried too much over the last two little funerals and want to avoid a third.
