Cruiser DUDE in BIG DISTRESS Jan 19,2018

[stosh2010]

I am praying for Cruiser Dude, ......he is as fine of a squirrel as has ever existed!

AMEN---to THAT

[stosh2010]

Praying for Dude, Stosh and Rama Momma.

I was looking at the pictures and look in his right ear is there a small cut in the center of it?
Would not explain the heavy breathing but hoping it is not his teeth.

Hugs to you all.
Come on Dude fight little guy fight

I will inspect tomorrow--He's sleeping now.

[stosh2010]

stosh, you said that he paws at his face a lot.....I wonder if, in his sleep, he really gouged himself either on the gumline or even his eye. Facial injuries bleed like a sunofab*tch because the skin is thinner there. Poor sweet Dude.....

He paws his face because his sinus and air ways are full of mucus...
I'll have to teach him how to use a handkerchief....
Poor little guy.
After washing off the blood--no wounds were found.



Even looking weary--- is so much better than when he awoke early today and was having severe breathing issues..

[stosh2010]

Sending healing thoughts and prayers for Cruiser Dude!

PRAYERS are always welcomed..........

I wish you had found an injury on his face or head. If there are no external injuries than the blood must have come from his nose or mouth?

Prayers for your SPECIAL little buddy, Dude.

With odontomas it is moreover a given he has had a habit of chewing on a cage wire, that provokes odontomas to form.

Sorry I haven't followed along your thread of late; was he actually diagnosed with odontomas by x ray?
Do you have baby benedryl?

It isn't uncommon for squirrels to get their teeth caught on a cage then pulling back their front incisors snap off. Yet they can also fracture their incisors further up inside of the socket.

To test to feel if one of his incisers are involved, apply a very light floating amount of pressure sideways just below the gumline of each tooth with your finger wet, to feel if there is any shifting of movement. Be sneaky, use a low soft voice soothing tone to your voice. If he flinches you will know that the tooth is likely painful and may be suspect for the source of bleeding. Check it again the next day to see if he flinches, to support whether it a matter of not wanting to be touched, or actually painful.

Poor Dude. Looks like he had some white tears lingering in his eye too. Wonder if his nose started bleeding and he groomed himself in an attempt to do something about it and that’s how it ended up around his eye.

I’m sure it was terrifying. Praying for all of you.

Oh Stosh, I'm so sorry to hear this news. My heart goes out to your little man. Did you check inside his mouth yet?

I'll be keeping him in my thoughts today.

Stosh and Rosie... my prayers are with you and your crew. I pray for a miracle.
Peace to you my friends.

X-rays are not available in my area. The X-ray vet office uses injections to calm the squirrel and I won't allow that. They have ZERO experience with squirrels and my CREW will not be their "Test Dummies" .

I agree--that is how the blood got around his face and eyes....

Peace to you my friends.

That would be nice....The DUDE deserves to have a long,happy,"healthy" life. Lets hope I am wrong about the Odontoma problem...and he just gets stronger & stronger.

The Dude--- .....is looking better today.(No Blood--at all) a little lethargic, but he is close to normal.

[stosh2010]

Oh Stosh, I'm so sorry to hear this news. My heart goes out to your little man. Did you check inside his mouth yet?

I'll be keeping him in my thoughts today.

We will check his ears and mouth today...we don't want to stress him, so we spread out any thing that requires us to grab & hold him.

[muggsy'sgm]

Yay for Dude and family! Been following his story on here, and this update makes me smile. Go, Dude!

[stosh2010]

Prayers for your SPECIAL little buddy, Dude.

Keep them coming...he's not "cured" yet....

Cruiser Dude

I agree--probably his nose....

[stosh2010]

The DUDE is much better today---
His eye is still leaking / weeping... maybe from pain. We gave one more dose of Tramadol.
He is acting almost normal. Sunday will be even better.
