I realize you had a lot to absorb when we spoke but I already tried to explain this.
Squirrels are medicated by body weight, medications have to be broken down/diluted to the proper milligrams and dosage for use on a squirrel.
The shaving of medications for treatment is inaccurate and a dangerous practice.

This is counter productive!

Walnuts are 1.0 calcium to 3.5 phosphorus.
