[RoxySquirrel]

Not good stuff. Get the powder. I'll PM Jbartell and Uni, who I think are SC people.

Ok thanks alot for your help! Roxy is breathing just fine now, and Ill make sure to go and get some AB, also Ill try to find the milk powder replacer in your photo! What if this happens again?Just clean his nose and hold roxy upside told for couple seconds?(hope Ill do it right, have any good videos showing something like how to do that?)

Is he clicking at all? It's SUPER important. Routinely hold him to your ear and listen VERY closely.

No clicking,just him breathing.

I am really not sure on weight. Maybe 35g?

You definately need a scale!!!! Please get one tomorrow.

You should feed 5-7% of body weight every 3-4 hours, using the proper technique. Syringes can be gotten from pharmacies. Better syringes and nipples can be gotten from the following. People love the Miracle Nipple. You might also order some Henry's blocks now because the shipping will be the same. Put them in the freezer.

We are in the lowcountry of SC (about 20 miles N of Savannah, Ga) and can help if needed. We would love to rehab another squirrel and also could take a NR. PM me if we can help.

Please.......be VERY careful with antibiotics. They are NOT created equal. They work in different ways, and some would be extremely dangerous to give a small animal. Plus, the dosing has to be carefully done, and by someone who knows what they are doing.
Before you "go get some", find out the name of an antibiotic recommended by the experts here, and exactly what dose to give...and this, I believe, is done based in part on the baby's weight.
