    Hey Squirrels Girl Mom and MollyBear361!!

    I hadn't posted because either Mike wasn't here or I missed him...(been gone from the house, closing up a storage building filled with basically....crap..) anyways, I was pretty certain Mike was not coming back...so negative. On Tuesday when I saw him it was pretty bad (to me), his nose is all gunked up again and he "wheezes" when he breathes. It was hard to take pics because he wouldn't stay around while he was eating. Well after Tuesday I had given up hope..., I hadn't seen him for two days.

    Halleluiah!!!!! He was here today!! Got some meds in him. He ate some grapes, passed up my Boo Balls, but I gave him some pecans and a block with almond butter. He is "wheezing" so bad! His breathing is with effort, yet he still is a spry little guy. I don't get it???

    Nose is still, scabby and gooey...if that makes sense. His mange looks much better!

    Could he have a infection within himself...cold?? Or is it nose damage?? I am at a loss!

    Hey gang! Been awhile..lots to do before school takes over.

    Also, I finally feel much better about Mike! I kinda went through a frustrated depressed stage worrying about him. I thought he was never getting better...actually looked up and down the street anticipating seeing him at the base of a tree. He REALLY looked pretty bad even with the Cipro. We originally thought it was a tooth issue...well, now we think some of his nose was bitten off??? Just a guess.
    Mike is eating much better, has the spunk that squirrels have...lookin' good!! Now we just have to conquer the mange!

    Here are some pics...thank you everyone for caring and helping Mike out!!!!! He would let you "scritch" him if he wasn't constantly living on the edge of something happening!...lol!

    he looks so much better but that poor nose! Is he going to be ok with that nose in the future? Can he breathe out of it at all?

    WE HAVEN'T NOTICED ANY BREATHING PROBLEMS IN THE LAST FEW DAYS...NOT LIKE BEFORE. HE SEEMS SOOOO MUCH BETTER!!! WE ARE SO RELIEVED AND HAPPY TO SEE HIM AS HE IS NOW. WE REALLY DIDN'T THINK HE WOULD MAKE IT. WE WILL WATCH HIM CLOSELY FOR THE NEXT FEW WEEKS (IF POSSIBLE) TO MAKE SURE THERE ARE NO SETBACKS. WE LOVE MIKE AND HE KNOWS WE ARE TRYING TO HELP HIM...PRETTY COOL, REALLY.

    I make little balls out of FV and mashed sweet potato with Henry vitamins. Mash into Very thick paste.
    When block is not eaten, cuz she gets tired of it, this works for me. After you roll them up into pieces, you can freeze them. You could add your Antibiotics to them. You can make them with anything he like
    FV and almond paste
    FV and nutella
    anything

    Look at that healed nose!! What a relief!! I always have compassion for ailing critters, especially squirrels, but for some reason Mike's seemingly hopeless situation just pierced my heart. Ya'll saved his life for sure.
