Okay
I’m listing the only resources I know of in NC: Dr. Dan Johnson, Avian and Exotic Animal Care, Raleigh, NC 919-844-9166. TSB member Sissy is in Goldhill, NC and there is another Rehabber that says she can network within NC. I will send you a private message with the other name and phone numbers. Private messages are accessed from the top of the page under notifications.
Edit: I sent the two contacts names and numbers to Brandy in a pm.

I just got off the phone with Sissy, I left her a message earlier this afternoon.
Mel may already gave you her number, but I messaged it again just in case.
Call here asap she is trying to help.

You guys are awesome. Thanks so much for all your help! My sister is a vet tech and gave me the info on lady who is a rehaber 20 mins from me. I took rex blindly without knowing I wouldn't get him back. She was really nice gave him antibiotics right away. But told me it was against the law to give him back to me. I understand she could loose her license but he was my baby. I still have Roxy I and realize now they were on a poor diet so that's changing now. My mission is to keep Roxy as healthy as possible so this doesn't happen again. I will miss Rex so much. Thanks everyone for your help and your support!

I'm glad that Rex is with a rehabber. Is she going to keep you updated on how he is doing?
Roxy is probably confused and missing her brother.
Have you considered reuniting them by letting the rehabber take her in as well?
Keeping siblings together is always in their best interest.
Maybe you can post a couple of pictures of Roxy, so we can meet Rex's sister.

I will definitely try to post a pic tomorrow if she will be still long enough for a pic. I don't want to do that. I know it may be selfish but I was so attached to Rex and my heart is shattered over this situation. I will keep Roxy and love her and make sure she is on a much better diet! I think she is confused and wondering where he is.
I wish you would reconsider about letting them stay together. I know it would be hard, but it would be a very selfless decision. They really do best with a buddy.

Good news Brandy. Hope to hear soon about Rex's progress.
DO you plan on releasing Roxy yourself in the spring?

A few years back, a gentleman found a little squirrel in his driveway.
He put out some seed and left it at that. The following day, he put out
more seed, and the little one came back, even though his eyes had not
completely opened yet, he found his way back.
The gentleman found a rehabber, because he knew this was
not normal. Her name is SammysMom here on this board.
A couple of days after she received this first little one, the same gentleman
called her saying he got this little ones sibling.
At this point, both of their little eyes were open.
SammysMom and this gentleman met up and she took the sibling and
put her up to her brother, the photo below was when they were reuntited.
They reached out and embraced. They were finally together again.
Little Rex's world was turned upside down when he lost his mom, then he lost you
and everything familiar around him, he needs his sister and she needs him.
They love and depend on each other. You would be giving your babies back to each
other. Both would do so much better if they have each other back in their lives. So
much less stress on both.
Some things are out of our control, like them both losing their first mom.
BUT some things we can control
The first photo is the little one in the driveway when his eyes were just starting to open.
The second when they reunited.
Please reconsider reuniting these siblings, and helping both of your babies.
We can never take the place of their mom or their sibliings. They need each other.
It's the greatest gift you could give them.

I got a update on Rex the rehabber told me he is still refusing water and food. She is giving him Pedialyte mixed with formula. He is still clicking but she said she expects that for a day or two while she continues antibiotics. She said he is still lethargic so I'm guessing not much different from yesterday but not any worse either.

Nancy in New York, your post made me tear up.
Brandy, please give it some time to process- I know you've already been through a lot, but when you're ready please consider what Nancy said with an open heart and mind

Sending prayers for Rex's recovery and Roxy too

It’s very concerning as the person is a licensed rehabber. I hope the formula she’s feeding is Fox Valley 20/50 and not Esbilac!

Thats what she told me earlier. She said she was a licensed rehabber and told me she had 9 squirells, 2 opossum, 1 chipmunk, 2 rabbits, and a baby dear and also a groundhog. She has her hands full for sure! And she told me all she used was esbilac
