My son found a couple of small gray squirrels on the ground being attacked by an adult. Th day before yesterday he found the first, who was dead & yesterday he found the live one. He heard the babies shrieking, and the first one had a big bite in the neck & died immediately, but we got to the other before the adult could hurt him. I’m thinking he’d been away from Mom for awhile bc I did the turgor test & he was very dehydrated. I got pedialyte & a small syringe. I also have esbilac puppy formula & heavy whipping cream, but haven’t given him any of that yet. He’s fully furred, eyes open, but no top teeth yet, I’m thinkimg he’s around 6 weeks old. At first he was so weak he couldn’t hang on to our finger & his eyes looked dull. Now he is very strong & bright eyed. He’s taking the pedialyte just fine & I’m helping him urinate after drinking every time. He’s going every time & it’s light yellow. The problem is he hasn’t deficated yet & he just threw up a tiny bit. I’m worried he’s constipated. My husband & I have taken turns rubbing his bottom with warm water on a cotton ball. While I was at the store yesterday getting pedialyte & formula my husband gave him half an unsalted almond. I told him to stop immediately bc he is dehydrated & not old enough for that, which will someday be an occasional snack & not the main component of his diet. Poor hubby feels awful now. How do I help this baby go potty?! I’m so worried & don’t know what to do. I’ve rubbed for 5 minutes at a time with th warm water. If he’s still drinking the pedialyte & peeing should I keep giving it to him? My mom has successfully rehabbed a newborn pinky , but this is my first time & she’s over 1000 miles away from me.
