I have had my (what I believe is) boy for 2 weeks now. He’s had a very traumatic beginning. I’ve been feeding him in accordance to his weight (last week 226 grams) we weigh in again tomorrow. I tried going to our local zoo rehabilitation and they said they’d just put him down, maybe it’s my hormones, but I just couldn’t do it.
A ladies dog got him and broke his leg and while putting said dog away a neighbor cat found him. My vet splinter him but it slid and the bone started trying to break through, so we removed it knowing he will have a forever home with us.
He was and is thriving very well so we wanted to give him a chance at a life. We still just can’t situate on an age. He is munching on Henry’s Hi-Protein Squirrel blocks and we just introduced veggies today (he LOVES them). I want to introduce a water source but I worry about his bandage getting wet and making his tissue friable. We are almost 5 days post operation. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
