Found baby Squirrel covered in lice, scabs.
Hi I found a baby squirrel about 4 days ago. Very dehydrated. 3-5 weeks old. Absolutely covered in lice and fleas. I thoroughly cleaned and removed the fleas and lice. He is now rehydrated and eating/pottying quite well. But he is still covered in dry flaky bumps on his skin and he scratches them often. Some even have lil scabs on him. I know the more nutrition he gets it should help clear the skin condition, but is there anything I could apply to him in the meantime to help with the dryness and itchiness? Small amounts of coconut oil on the actual dry spots? Thank u for your help.
