Hey guys,

Firstly thanks for the add. So I’ll get to the point. My neighbors dog was found carrying a baby squirrel in his mouth the neighbor thought it was going to pass away so he put it next to his garage. He came out the next morning and it was still alive so he came and asked if I could try and save it. I’ve had the little guy for three days now no visible injuries as far as I could tell from the dog encounter.. He was only 60 grams when I got him he is 66 now.. but it has been tough to get him to eat since the start. Tonight was the first time he actually nursed himself. He got down just shy of 3ml. I did rehydrate him with pedialyte and warm him before attempting formula when I first took him in he was pretty lethargic that first day.
I have a miracle nipple attached to the 3ml syringe it came with. Today I feel like he is breathing with his mouth open a tad.. I’m not sure if I’m being paranoid or not I don’t feel like he’s making any noises at least not consistent enough for me to notice and I’ve been staring at him sleep pretty frequently.. when feeding him he did make like a yawn twice but that was it no bubbles out of the nose or anything. Could he have still aspirated or would he only be making that clicking noise if so? The only medicine I have on hand at home is 500mg amoxicillin.. any help or advice would be much appreciated!
