Hi everyone!
I found a little baby squirrel last night in my neighbors front yard. On the advice of wildlife rehab, i put him in a box with a blanket and put a heat pad underneath. He seemed calm and fine and even a bit feisty earlier! I tried putting the box out in the tree to see if mom would come back for him but she didnt.
I wanted to try again tomorrow but now he is so lethargic. i can pet him and handle him with almost no reaction. I tried pedialyte and esbilac earlier with a syringe but he wont take it. he just sits with his mouth closed and refuses. i dont know how to do it correctly. I'm a total newbie but want to keep him alive until i can take him to a rehab center tomorrow! please help!
