This baby was raised and released Sept 2013, gone for 5 months on his own and returned for help after being beat up, bitten and unstable in his balance. Took to vet, got ear meds and was doing better. Twice I gave him meds for ears and they cleared up but continue to return so I have had him captive for 6 months now.
Point being he is throwing up severely and very lethargic and weak, which just came on in the past 24 hrs, and does not look like he will last long if I don't do something!! He did escape a couple days ago and fall into a back water pond, but spent time inside so he was dry... could it be a parasite problem???
He was sluggish night before last but seemed fine in am on Friday. I had to work 12 hour days and he was in an outside cage til late 10ish in evenings. Been 40ish but not severe... Last night he had low body heat and listless when I went to bring him inside.
Knew he didn't feel good so just put him in his nest to sleep after holding him for about an hour. This morning he was up, and just laying on his perch looking out the window. I saw in his water bowl that he had thrown up and it was green..... got fresh water and gave him another drink which he gladly took...slowly, but as soon as he was done he ran to the side of my bed and just pucked it all out....twice and a lot for a squirrel!!! So sad, then two more times and it was yellow bile and did have bad odor but not strong.... His eyes are heavy but look clear. Have not seen if he's going to the bathroom or not??? Have been gone for 5 days and just home short time but he just got this sick last night.
Gave him some antibiotic that I had from earlier but as I gave it to him he threw up big time!!! yellow bile and again, and again but just small amount came out!!! What Do I do and what could be cause of this???? Also got pedialite and gave him maybe one cc and he threw up right away!!!!! He was in an outside cage..... could this be poisoning????
Please help, will try to check this often all night!!!
