It should be moistened with warm water and gently rubbed across your Squirrels genitals. Usually several seconds of this is all that is required. Is your Squirrel's abdomen tense or distended (sticking out)? Is your Squirrel still drinking formula? If abdomen is soft and your Squirrel is still drinking formula and is active and not in apparent distress, I wonder if maybe your Squirrel has peed but it since this is usually a few drops and not a stream of urine is it possible that urination went unnoticed. As far a pooping, this may take some time after transition to a formula but 48 hours most can be expected to poop. The bottom line (no pun intended) is that a very young baby Squirrel must be successfully stimulated to urinate and defecate. We need to identify and correct the the issues that are responsible for this not occurring. That also brings up some other questions: What is the history of your Squirrel (found abandoned, fell or whatever), approximately how old is your Squirrel? What are you feeding and how much and how often? What is your Squirrel's weight. Have you been the caregiver for a baby squirrel before this? Can you upload a photo of your Baby?
