I need help now dieing baby squirrel!!!!

[Rock Monkey]

I don’t hear any clicking he breaks slowly his hear is 100 miles an hour

What is 100 miles per hour? I think there is a typo.

Will the system allow you to use the 'attach' icon, the paper clip?

[Adam Hodgins]

His heart is beating just faster than the other two I have.

[Adam Hodgins]

I don’t see a paper clip. How do I pm where is that function I don’t yet have access to all the things I’m still restricted cause I’m 1 hour new been looking for help for hours.

[Rock Monkey]

I have sent Mel a message. I don't know when it will be seen. I have looked and I don't see any other admins online at the moment. I am working every angle I can think of.

[Adam Hodgins]

Thanks so much. Listen I’m not well off financially. I have been broke from corona. I am trying my best to figure this out and I don’t know what to do

Yeah, with a new account your account will have a number of restrictions. I am trying to contact an admin to see if that process can be sped up.

I don't know if you can PM yet either. That is accessed by clicking on one's user name at the top of the screen and then in the middle left there should be a button about sending a PM. I have PM'ed Mel1959 to see if we can get you some help.

When you hit 'reply to thread' In the first row of that box their is a paper clip icon, the icon for putting in an attachment.

Right. That's a big part of what this forum is about. Helping people who can't afford a vet visit and helping people who are struggling to help their squirrel.

[Rock Monkey]

Have you called friends and family to see if they have any of the four antibiotics that I mentioned?

[Adam Hodgins]

Yes I have I have people looking for me but no available antibiotics. I really have called everyone I know for help.

[Rock Monkey]

Squirrels are very emotionally sensitive. They will be monitoring you very closely. So, it is very important that you remain as calm and relax as possible. If you are stressed out, the squirrel will become stressed out and anxious and that will only make matters worse.

Talk to the squirrel in a calm and soothing fashion. Doing so will also help you monitor your own feeling and allow you to be aware if you are being calm.

[Rock Monkey]

Also, stay active on the thread. User you can see that you are active and on the thread and will be more likely to wait for a response to an inquiry or question that they may have asked.

I am hitting refresh every chance I think about it which is every 30 seconds lol I’m being calm.

[Rock Monkey]

Okay. Thanks. The arm wound definitely looks it could use some antibiotics.

How did the squirrel come to you?

Is it possible that it was bitten by a cat?

[Rock Monkey]

SMZ/TMP, Doxycycline and Clindamycine are other drugs that have been used in squirrels, each has a preferred use based on where the infection is.

If there is any cat action, this needs to be treated with antibiotics as their bites cause nasty wounds for squirrels.

[Rock Monkey]

I’m being calm.

Excellent. That is critical. They are practically mind readers, in my experience.

Keep it between layers of your clothing and in a relatively upright posture.

[Rock Monkey]

What has the animal been fed? How is it being fed?

Has it been peeing?

Has it been pooping?

Do you have a one cc syringe? Smaller is better. 3 cc syringes are problematic for squirrels that are that small.

It also looks like it might be dehydrated.

[Adam Hodgins]

I work as a mobile mechanic and the mother built a nest under the intake of a ford f 550 motor she died when they started the motor this one was the smallest of the Busch and has been very week now it’s dieing. I need some help for sure. I’m tryin every thing you guys say and

[Adam Hodgins]

This is all I could get my hands on for three days they have been eating well and peeing and pooping everywhere lol. I am trying to find formula. I am feeding them very slowly iknow what to do there I had a few baby squirrel in Alabama but no problems like this ever

[Adam Hodgins]

He was eating like crazy this morning he’s been the smallest science I got them. I figured he was a runt.
