    Default Neurological problems

    This squirrel was found crawling around on his side 5 days ago. When I received the squirrel there were no wounds or injuries seen. Moving all four extremities. Wt 163 grams. Eats well when hand fed liquids and boo balls. Treated for possible head injury for 3 days with injectable dexamethasone, with no improvement. Now on panacur for possible round worm infection. When handling the squirrel (twice) I have noticed a white milky secretion from the eyes.I have read this may be associated with stress? Anyone have any idea what is wrong with this squirrel. Don't want to give up on him.https://youtu.be/qlsHdBmwHM8
