    Default Injured foot.

    This little squirrel was raised and released. He showed up with injured toes. He eats, he drinks, he has an inside house but his poor toes are swollen and half of one is missing. The finder’s daughter raised the little guy. I’m thinking some infant ibuprofen would go a long way towards making him feel better and reduce the swelling some. He looke about a pound to me—maybe a little less? If there’s a doseing out there for infant ibuprofen? I’ll pass it on and hopefully without too much stress, that little squirrel will be feeling a LOT better pretty soon.

    Do you know the weight on this little one?
    If not, what's the age?

    Edit: I see you estimated a pound. Will send dosing now.
    Dosing sent.

    Tell her to do that foot with dilute betadyne a couple times a day. About 25-30 drops to 1/4 cup water and she can dip it, spray it on, dab it with a cotton ball - whatever is easiest, Just leave it to dry on its own.
