Good evening,

A friend delivered a malnourished 3 week old to me on July 2nd. She had crusty eyes and diarrhea. My friend was not aware that they should not be fed right away and was giving her baby formula. I immediately started on a diluted KMR with probiotics, then did a pedialyte flush with probiotics.

She was found blindly wandering in the road and was almost hit by my friend.

She does not have any macro parasites that I have seen. Her skin was dry and she was itching the first day and a half. Rehydrating her and wiping down her fur has since helped with that.

I started rehydrating her with pedialyte and probiotics to see if that was causing the diarrhea. I was concerned about distemper, but she was eager to eat and wasn't showing any other signs.

The diarrhea stopped and she began to rehydrate really well yesterday. I got her eyes cleaned up and the crust/infection seems to be gone already. She also has a lot more energy today; quite a bit of spunk for 337g.

I am located in salt lake city and would like to find a reliable and highly recommended licensed rehabber to take her in. I would love to know that she is being raised with siblings.

My friend called around and could not find a rehab in the local area that was taking babies. She was informed that babies in our area would be euthanized if brought in. I am not sure why and I am concerned. She has a lot of fight and seems to be on the right track to be a strong, healthy baby.

Please advise accordingly.
