5 1/2 month old female fox squirrel
Current weight 662g down from 690g
Two fecal smears done at different vets both negative for parasites or coccidia.
She started having mucusy diarrhea with small amount of blood about 2 weeks ago. Had first fecal smear done. It was negative. Removed some items from daily diet and it began to improve, somewhat formed but never the pellets as before. Some days she feels better than others which seems to coincide with the looseness of her stool, which dictates her appetite. Stool also has coloring of whatever food she has eaten. Thought perhaps fecal wasn’t thoroughly examined so went ahead and dewormed with pyrantel pamoate. No change.
Have read through the message board and tried canned pumpkin. It seemed to help a little but she would not eat it again.
Had second fecal smear done at a different vets office. Same results- negative for everything.
We offer her an assortment of foods and until this started she liked most things. Every morning she gets broccoli and cauliflower and after she eats most of that she gets one HHB. The remainder of the day we offer her an assortment of veggies and another block or two from Henry’s. She gets a small amount of fruit each day and maybe once a week we offer her an almond. We were taking her outside to play once a day until she started having this problem.
Still drinking plenty of water but her appetite is not consistent.
Not legal to have her as a pet in my state and would have to drive 3 hours each direction to take her to a vet I knew for certain would not cause any problems for us.
