Good evening,

I have a problem with one of my two 6 wk old grey squirrel brothers. He was initially the hardy, extremely hungry one of the two, but a couple weeks ago everything changed. The first thing that set off any worry was the blood coming from his mouth once during a feeding. I figured he was teething and didn't think much more of it. Then he was off, he was a lot less active and didn't want to eat very much (going from 6 - 8 mls a feeding down to at the most 2.5). Although he never became dehydrated during the time, his stomach has become extremely extended. As of Monday, I started a round of panacur dewormer to see if worms were the case. He has started perking up and eating more, but his stomach is still extremely extended (way past his knees).

Does anyone have any experience or ideas as to what this might be?

Thanks
