    Not a blister, per se, but a lesion (but again, Bug had developed one small lump, that turned out to be pox. At that point, it had been a week since Sammy and Bug were together and they were only together for 24 hours.) No fleas here. They are in a large critter keeper, and I keep fleece over the top unless I am feeding or medicating them, as well. Thanks!

    You and me, both! So far, no sign of anything amiss. And they are doing much better re: the coccidia and those issues...the meds seem to be working!

    Pbird,
    You and Pappy are near one another. Is squirrel pox pretty prevalent out there?
    I'm newer to all this. Haven't heard much about it here in the midwest. The article I sent was written by a vet at the center I interned at
    This is a scary, ugly disease.

    it's defiantly in our state, haven't seen any up in our area of course that doesn't mean it not here.
    my little bug was from about 20 miles away in beverly.
    i know alot of rehabbers around the state are getting poxy sq's in, but they are all pretty far away from the north shore, i suppose it's just a matter of time before it's everywhere.
    one rehabber i know just got a red in and he died within 48 hrs

    I have not seen any from our area with it (as Jodi stated, Bug was from another town). It certainly is very nasty. I'm sorry about the little red...I know they have no immunity to it whatsoever.

    So far, no signs of any pox in any of my babies. They all finally have normal poop (YEAH!) Will be two weeks on Sunday they are on meds (one more week after that, to cover the basis with the albon.) Would not wish this on anyone! But wanted to update, I am cautiously optimistic we dodged this bullet!!

    Thanks. Still doing great, diarrhea is completey gone from the coccidia (yeah) and they are gaining weight and look great! Still watching like a hawk, though. Trying to keep their life as stressfree as I can.

    Everyone continues to do great, finally off all meds and no sign of anything, so I HOPE we should be in the clear at this point! They moved into the big flight cage yesterday (and are LOVING IT.....but I cannot get them still to drink from a dish....still holding out for syringe feedings, the little stinkers!!! Even yogurt they won't eat from a dish!)

    Yeah, think it is def. time! lol I brought them in some tree bark and some branches with leaves after breakfast...they are playing and having a blast! Later today going to do some tent time....so they can really get some exercise and play time! (I will get pics!) They are doing so good now.....(sure hope I didn't just jinx us!) Just love them. I miss Pinkie and Fonzi, been over 5 weeks since I have seen either of them. I pray they are safe, just living their life. I plan to winter these guys over (I just can't let them go so young so late in the season. They will be wintered over on the screen porch, so they will be outside, but protected. That way I KNOW they will have shelter, plenty of food, etc. Come spring, I will move em' outside and let nature take its course.)
