2 Week Old with Diarrhea PLEASE HELP!
Hi, I found an infant (with umbilical cord still on) pinkie in my front yard. There is a nest way up in a tree that she was under which I’m almost positive she fell from. She was convulsing and had some head trauma. Her mom never came and got her when I left her out in a box. I’ve had her for about a week now and she was seeming A LOT better! She was active and growing. I was feeding her the liquid ebsilac because I hadn’t seen online the dangers of it yet. Then I switched over to formula as soon as it came in the mail. But I didn’t transition her slowly. And I may have been over feeding her. She started to get softer stool and then it started turning yellow. Now it’s only liquid. Yellow. Had some bubbles in it last night. It almost looks like oil now. It’s been happening just over a day and I had her on pedialyte all day yesterday to try to flush it. I’m planning on slowly diluting GMF and giving that to her on her next feeding but she is severely dehydrated, her skin is tenting. She seems better and her skin bounces back but then if I go too long (3 hours), she’s way more wrinkly and dry skin. I want to save her, please help. She’s been through so much already. Her poop isn’t changing yet, which I thought it would with the pedialyte. She just wasn’t pooping as much yesterday but it didn’t change at all. She seemed happier to get hydration. But I’m worried. She’s still dehydrated and I’m nervous about switching her to GMF. Or the formula I got because I saw it had whey protein and I read that’s not good for her. What should I do? Her spirits seem up, she wriggles, pushes and climbs so she seems OK but she hasn’t had solid or normal poops for over 24 hours now and the places I called said they would probably euthanize her. Please help!
