Hello I'm new to this forum and new to caring for a baby squirrel. I have cared for a few other young wild animals and successfully released them back to the wild. A friend of a friend found 3 small squirrels in her back yard. One had blood coming out of its nose and died and another died from " unknown causes" she kept the last one alive for a week maybe week and a half and then reached out to my friend for help because it was declining. That's when my friend reached out to me and I became involved. I picked up The squirrel yesterday. He looks to be maybe 5 weeks old now but is small for it's age and his head looks larger then it should. The previous care giver had been feeding it carnation milk out of a pet nurser and even fed it powdered coffee creamer mixed with water at one point and I did not see a heating source of any kind around the cat carrier in which I assume it lived when I picked it up.
Since yesterday I have read the entire guide that lead me here 3 times and created the proper living tote, switched to a good syringe and puppy milk replacer. I'm working on rehydrating with honey water between feedings and currently waiting on my 50/20 ( or maybe 20/50) formula. However yesterday on the way home I heard clicking and I NEED to know what to do. What antibiotics should I give and where would be the quickest/ easiest/ cheapest place to get it.
I would also enjoy any input on anything I wanna be able to see this guy love a happy healthy life.
