Thursday afternoon a friend called, her husband works at an auto repair shop. One of their customers drove in, and while talking they saw a squirrel run from his truck. Upon lifting the hood they found a baby squirrel. How he made it that far without falling off is anyone's guess.
She called me since I am known for loving wildlife.
From the reading I have done of posts on this site I would guess Baby to be about 3 weeks old, still has eyes closed, small amount of fuzz on body and starting to get 2 lower teeth.
First I placed Baby in brooder box [I raise chickens] until proper box could be set up but I knew I needed to get him warm.
I started Baby on unflavored Pediatric Electrolyte Solution. After all signs of dehydration were gone I got some powdered puppy Esbilac and he is eating fairly well [about 4cc every 4 hours]. Weighed 2.5 oz when I got him and is 2.8 oz 24 hours later.
Problem: I have been stimulating him before and after every feeding using damp paper towel, cotton balls and Q-tips but have not been able to get him to poop. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
