Please continue the re-hydration protocol for 2-3 days. That is
in addition to the 5% formula feedings you must add replacement fluid in
between feedings. You can use pedialyte for 3-4 days for re-hydrating purposes. Sugar can pull the fluids out of the cells. If this is too much fluid for this little one to take PO, you may SubQ
sterile fluids only. Many rehabilitators stop re-hydrating too soon. The animal
may surive but it will make it more
difficult for it. As for abrasions, they should be cleaned and treated with neosporin. For the fleas, you can use
5% Sevin Poultry dust. (You can get it at any hardware store. It is used to dust chickens for parasites.)
Use it very lightly . I use a make-up blush brush to apply to the babies but you can use a small
paint brush too. Powder very lightly their body all over. It really does not take much dust to work right away. I usually powder just the
top of their head making sure to
be careful not to get it in their eyes, nose or mouth.
Get better little one
BTW, Dehydration can cause constipation.
