Formula Warnings

[island rehabber]

Poops AND babies look fine to me. The extra water will cause sticky or mushy poops for awhile but as you get them back up to full strength formula alone they will have firmer poops and they themselves will plump up too. GREAT job at averting disaster, Mamma!

Thanks to you guys and the dedication you give to these babies and this page. So thank you!!!

How old would you guess they were in that picture? They had zero fur but you could see the slit in their eyes. I chalked it up to around 1 week 🤷*♀️

I think your original thought of a week old was probably close. When the eyes open they should be 5 weeks old. Look at those cute babies!

Nick was contacted MANY times and always had the same response, he hasn't changed anything with the formula,
OR "this is the first time he's heard of a problem"
Here's a thread addressing the problem when it first happened.
Members posted when they called and spoke personally to Nick, to no avail.

I won't use FV anymore. The babies can't digest it. It's horrible that they advertise it specifically for them, but it will kill them. 😡🤬

[please help as I have no time to read through I did the exact same thing and gave 5 cc to one squirrel and 4 cc to the other think they're 6 to 7 weeks old one definitely just vomited so I think one of them went for a very long way straight afterwards I left the house to pick my daughter up from school so do I just go home and give water or will they make it to the next feeding and I go back to the goats milk until I can get the correct stuff online?QUOTE=Nancy in New York;1178498]When buying PetAg puppy replacers make sure you are getting the correct one.
We have had several members this week with very sick squirrels due to feeding
the incorrect formula. (Through NO fault of their care takers, as it can be confusing)
PetLac sits in the squirrels tummies like cement.
They bloat, and can not defecate. This could cause death.
You want to get the PetAg Esbilac Puppy Milk Replacer Powder

NOT
PetLac Puppy Milk Replacement Powder.................................................. ........................CORRECT FORMULA



IF you have already fed this, a long time member has come up with this protocol below that has helped save his babies.[/QUOTE]
