I am new to this forum. Earlier in the school year one of my students brought me a young red squirrel that had been passed on through several people. It fell out of the nest as a baby onto a roof. The people that found it fed the baby until it weaned. Once weaned it was passed on to a new owner. The squirrel (Peanut) has teeth that do not match up so they grow without being worn down. Peanut was passed on several times until my student brought the baby to me thinking I would know what to do about the teeth. I trim the teeth every two weeks. When I first got the squirrel the only food it ate were peanuts (hence the name). Now, my wife has the squirrel eating a variety of foods; a wide array of nuts, bread products, and greens. At first Peanut appeared very active, alert, and playful. For the last few weeks he has been walking with more and more difficulty and he appears to be loosing the use of his back legs. He is still alert and playful, but as time goes by Peanut has more difficulties in getting around. I am hoping that someone may have an idea of what might be wrong. He has not fallen that we know of and there has been no other accident other than falling on the roof as a baby. Both my wife and I have become very fond of the squirrel and it's very upsetting to my wife to watch her pet slowly worsen over time. Any Ideas of what we might try or do would be appreciated. nchls_school
