Jungle Squirrels in Central America - No rehab nearby, I'm on my own with this baby..

Yes please. Many here are praying for you and your little fuzzer. Last report we had, your little one had started with diarrhea. This can bring a healthy squirrel down quickly.

Please let us know how things are going.

That would be a ......................NO.
Maybe she is doing just FINE...and Chick-a-pea is fat and strong....
A photo would be all that we need....

I was given an injured little on just this past Monday...and with all my supplies, and experience, and meds, and direction from the TSB rehabbers...Little "PIPA" passed yesterday. after suffering some severe seizures. It broke my heart. One feeding he was strong and feisty...and the next lethargic, and within 2 more hours he faded and died.

also....heaven forbid...if your squirrel is doing poorly...or even suffered a fatal blow....let us know. So many folks are following your story--and need to have a status report--GOOD-or-BAD.

Any update, good or bad would be great. We are not here to judge or berate, we are only here to help! I knew next to nothing when I started to try and help my injured wilds, the amount of help and good will that I received from members here was amazing!

Hello... again
I hope you check in --and read this.
We can assume that Chick-a -Pea did not survive...
It has been 2 weeks since I last posted and 4 weeks since you posted here.

Your heart must be pained...You tried, but she probably passed from one of several things that can cause a young squirrel to die.
The diarrhea you mentioned is one way they fade --quickly...dehydration from that causes organs to fail.

But there will be OTHER baby squirrels that will pass through your hands. Costa Rica is squirrel heaven.
Learn from failure and be prepared for the next one. I can help with some supplies.

Stay around on TSB--and stay in touch...
We can only help--if you ask us to.
Talk soon ??? I tried your phone # that you posted--a few times--got Voice mail- I left messages.

Poor Chick-a-Pea. Gods speed little Chick-a-Pea.

Little babies are so fragile, sometimes even with the right care they do not make it. Very sad.

Chick-a-Pea and PrettyMuddy...
Thinking about you BOTH.


Not every story----is a SUCCESS story...
But every one is a LESSON learned--to take with you for "the next time"

*Sigh*. This was such a frustrating thread.

What are the chances?
A person living in South America comes to an internet forum for help with an exotic baby mammal she's found, and it's very very ill.....
There is someone on the internet forum who responds within minutes --- in her general area!!! With supplies!! And he's really nice and generous and doesn't even give her the "Rehabber Third Degree" about keeping the squirrel, or taking the squirrel, or.......he just wants to HELP.
What are the chances?
He never hears back.
Ever.

What are the chances that this baby, who was given a special chance by God or whomever you'd like to believe controls these things, could have possibly survived?

Stosh, I'm a frequent lurker on your threads. I'm a huge fan!! All your babies are beautiful and you and Rama Mama clearly have HUGE hearts. God bless you for trying so hard... But there's really only so much you can do.
