Does anyone know a vet in or around
Lawrence Ks that would see my squirrel
She is a little over 4 years old and not acting
right she's sleeping a lot.Not wanting to go outside

This may very well be dietary. Can you tell us what you feed her daily? Is she being fed any rodent blocks?

I've bought Henry's health blocks but she's never eaten any.
She eats all kinds of stuff when she's running around outside and playing in the trees and digging in the dirt.when she's inside she gets Broccoli , carrots ,Leaf lettuce,spinach,apples, pears,plums,mushrooms, different kind of squash and melons and blueberries and strawberries and cherries and a lot more.She's never in a cage she runs around the house all the time.

She is almost definitely suffering from metabolic bone disease. None of the things she is eating are providing her with the large amount of calcium a squirrel needs daily. A squirrel given the Henry's blocks plus a bunch of other stuff they really like will ignore the blocks. That is why we give them JUST blocks in the morning, and when they are gone they get the rest of their stuff.

Get yourself some fruit flavored Tums and start the MBD protocol immediately.
