Help! Possible pneumonia

[Nancy in New York]

What size syringe are you using?
At this age you don't want anything larger than
a 1 cc syringe. Are you using a nipple?
Also can you get the Powdered Puppy Esbilac
like the one in the photo above. Most pet stores or
tractor supply stores sell this.
The goat's milk doesn't have the proper nutrients
for a baby squirrel.

Also here is an excellent like on caring for baby
squirrels. It's 6 pages long (very quick read though)with the NEXT button on
the top right hand side.

Amazon has the correct formula, and if you have Prime, you'll
probably get it by Monday, if you can't find it near you.

It possibly could be a staff infection. Try putting triple antibiotic ointment on it. If you have betadine put a few drops in water a make a ‘weak tea’ and wipe that on the affected area.

Let us know ASAP when you get the med. if he gets fussy about eating, lethargic, and/or a regular clicking, you must get antibiotics or you will lose him.

Thanks so much I changed the puppy milk to the correct kind yesterday and last night and today he has not made any clicking noises anymore he is eating good . I position him sprawled out on his tummy when eating so it does not go in his nose , I also put antibiotics ointment on the pimples , he seems to be doing good today , I will go buy some betadine too

will keep an eye out on him and make sure he keeps on getting better
