Please forgive me if I’ve posted in the wrong place. I’m very new here and new to squirrels!

My questions are regarding Baylisascaris procyonis(raccoon roundworm.) Does anyone know how long a baby squirrel can survive with this if they were to contract it? Is there any defining symptom that would separate this infestation from other neurological issues/injury? Is there dcurrently any test that can be performed(antemortem or post mortem) to diagnose this parasite?

A little background on my situation...I have been given an orphaned squirrel to care for from a friend of a friend. They found this baby on 5/2/21 and has been caring for it for the last few weeks. Their circumstances changed and they were no longer able to care for it. I somehow ended up with it. That’s pretty typical lol

This baby is about 5 weeks old. I apologize that I have very little info regarding the care schedule it’s been on the last few weeks. I will include all that I know in a list at the end.

I’m growing quite concerned about the baby. It has what appears to be obvious neurological issues going on. From what I’ve been told, it has always been a bit “off” since it was found. Symptoms I’ve noticed: shaky, unsteady, doesn’t walk normal, can climb but is very uncoordinated. I am not confident in its ability to see/hear also. I think there may be some eyesight and hearing but may be diminished. I plan on exploring that later this evening to get a better idea. And will try to get a video of its behavior and walking/climbing to show you!

I live in South Eastern Wisconsin. I believe raccoon roundworm is considered plentiful in this area but I’m not positive. Any info/help is much appreciated. I’m pretty nervous/scared right now. 😢
Things I do know:
-Had fleas when found. No longer present I believe.
- was being fed Pet-Ag ESBILAC puppy formula. I stopped that when I got it 3 days ago in order to treat for dehydration. Then I fed a bit of the formula alternating with the rehydration. Dehydration is much improved. Also offering little chunks of Picky Eater squirrel blocks.
-being given Baytril for aspirate pneumonia. This will be the second day of it and already seem to show progress!!
-im pretty sure it’s a bit underweight but I have to get a scale to check weight still.
