injured small squirrel please help!
hi i’m very new here, but yesterday as i was leaving for the store i rescued a little squirrel from my cat, she has one cut on one of her front legs, but it wasn’t bleeding badly, she can move it but doesn’t seem to be able to put weight on it , she barely twitched at all she was very unresponsive at first, i actually thought she was dead but i culould see her breathing regularly, and i put her in a cat carrier with some soft t-shirt’s and some food and water, but she didnt eat or drink, about two hours later i heard her shift and started squeaking so i picked her up, she absolutely loves to be held and hasn’t tried to bite me at all, she just sleeps on my chest, i realized she might not be old enough or strong enough to eat on her own, so i found a oral syringe and stared giving her some goats milk (it’s all i had and i am getting the puppy formula today) and some water, she took it very willingly and has been more responsive each feeding, i just gave her a few drops of yougurt and some honey, she mostly lays on my chest and sleeps, although she will move around on her own to adjust her position or snuggle into my neck, she seems a lot better and her eyes and hold her head up when i feel her, i’m just worried because all she seems to do is sleep? what more can i do for her, there are no professionals to help me, and i love her so muchdoes she have a chance of making it ?
