    Don't buy a bottle. Get a syringe (1cc or 3cc) from a pharmacy. Tell them it's for an orphan animal and they will give you one.

    A bottle will cause milk to go into the lungs and than they get aspiration pneumonia.

    schambers7, the very best thing you could possibly do for this baby is get him to SQUIRRELSAREME as soon as possible. He does look roughed up; dehydrated and those cat lacerations are full of bacteria. They can literally kill him. SQUIRRELSAREME has meds, vet contacts, and loads of squirrel experience. If you truly want to save him, do it.

    Thanks you for rescuing this little one! This poor squirrel has been through a lot so experienced hands with meds and vet support can really make the difference!

    Bub is being transported tomorrow morning to Squirrelsareme. Thank you everyone for your help. I hadn't seen your posts the last few that posted as it did not notify me of correspondence. However he is going to get the help he needs. Thanks everyone!

    I have this little girl now. She has two large abscess under each ear, and can’t walk, maybe a broken pelvis. Her front paws have a hard time gripping I am hopeful this is due to the infection. I have a vet appointment tomorrow afternoon for her. Rocki will need lots of prayers

    Update on Rocki .I got her to the vet and had three abscesses drained.X-ray showed no broken bones. All of her joints are inflamed with possible infection. The vet said I should probably euthanize her, I said were only dealing with infections. So I want to chance to try and help her. So she is home with me. I have her on Clindamycin , clavamox and metacam Name:  279BC936-59C8-42BC-A4CE-5619AC557785.jpg
