On Saturday morning my husband's cousin found a baby squirrel on the sidewalk. She was alone and bleeding, they didn't really inspect her... They just put in her in a box and cleaned her off. I got to her at about 5pm, and called my mom immediately (she's rehabbed 5 squirrels and raised 2, the other 3 were siblings and given to a pro rehabber) I noticed she was cold and immediately made a rice buddy, and bought pedialtye to get her hydrated.
She responded well to that and I knew then she had a wound on her lip and one in her left inner thigh, but waited until I got home to inspect it. Fast forward to that I got home and my mother and I began to check her wounds, initially we thought her jaw bone had broken and was out, but after looking we came to the realization it was a cats entire nail! Literally the entire nail, film and all, strangely it was in backwards - so the point was facing out which is why we thought it was a bone. I was able to get it out with tweezers and it seems as though it was lodged in her mouth. We left it there since that was tough for the baby, I gave her more pedialtye, warmed her buddy and put her in her box. The first night I woke up twice and warmed her buddy and gave her pedialtye.
The next morning we checked her thigh and realized it was two holes, presumably from the cats teeth. These are the only wounds she has, it's been 3 days and she is doing fine. I made her goats milk formula, but she has yet to want to eat. Ive given it to her with a small syringe, but she doesn't want it. She will however drink the pedialtye.
Since she's been with me she has opened her tail, and it's a bit more willing to move around. She seems healthy but I'm not sure what to expect or what I should do next. I've included pictures of her, we belive she is about 4 to 5 weeks old.
She is peeing! She's peed multiple times since Sunday and has continued to pee through today, but no number 2.
