    Default !-2 week old baby - Finger is severly scabbed over and other injuries

    Hello Everyone. Hope you all are doing well. I have a friend here in my city In Calgary, Canada who has recently found a pinky baby (About 1 to 2 weeks) As some of you may remember my story about my Squirrel Trooper Marie and our adventures of becoming a rehabilitator. Anyways, I have past most of my knowledge on to her regarding proper feeding, diet, forumla, and proper caring techniques. I have been in contact with Nancy about our situation and she suggest that we get some more eyes on this pinky's injuries.
    She found this pinky last week on the pavement and the baby was covered in ants. I went to inspect the pinky myself and took a bunch of pictures of my findings. Our main concern is his finger. The skin seems to be completley shredded off. It has developed a pretty big scab all over the finger. The pictures I took last night with the scab still intact. However today, Carolina (New User: Moon Sunset) updated me that she cleaned the finger with warm water. The scab came off and the finger is all red and raw and that the nail also came off with it. She has been putting polysporin on it and keeping it as clean as possible. These updated pictures will be the last two pictures in the set.
    Some other injuries include, a scrape on the arm that seems to be getting better. Also a bent nail on the back left foot. There seems to be a dry skin issue that Nancy has address for us in her last email. I do have some oral anti-biotics that Nancy will be dosing out for us if we need to go the oral anti-biotic route.


    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Moon Sunset is a new user to this forum and I am putting her in direct contact with Nancy and will be following this post to answer any other questions and gaining more knowledge and feed back. I am also a 10 minute drive away from her and the baby, So I will keep a close eye and provide any physical needs and help that she requires, including supplies and emergency facilities.

    Thank you all so much for any help provided.

    PS. Trooper-Marie is doing amazing to this day and we miss you all!
