She can take only a few steps and then she will fall like exhausted..someone help me please I don't know whats going on
Please tell us what is her diet, what all does she eat?
Is she provided any type rodent block?
Reason for asking...
Her falling could be related to mbd which is directly related to a diet
that does not provide the calcium required for a squirrels nutrition.
When their body is not getting the calcium that's needed it leeches
it from their bones. Mbd does effect body function, can cause paralysis.
It is painful. It can be turned around with prompt treating if this is what
is happening.
