Hi all,
I have a female flying squirrel who is 12.5 yrs old currently. Over the last few weeks she's been suffering patches of hair loss and scabs on her back and her underbelly. I was worried it might be a calcium deficiency, and I've tried to feed her a calcium mix from a syringe, but she aggressively refuses to eat or drink anything directly from me and will hop away and poop a lot along the way. When she does this, her poop is light brown and much softer than I've ever seen it before, like a soft dog poop. She is also not eating very much and as of a few days ago she started to weaken in her movement and not jump anymore. I'm not sure what to do. Does anyone have any idea what this could be? And any suggestions on how to make her eat?
Thanks,
Andrew
