Hi! So i have 2 issues with 2 different squirrels...first is a apprx 3 week old baby i picked up from my vet tonight. He has 2 bumps next to each other on his side. I think they are ant bites. Vet got a bit of fluid out of one. Scabs on top of bumps. No other bites or holes on him so not thinking its from a cat. Founder founder baby on ground & no mom in site. He also has some bruising on inside of his leg, same side as bumps. Hes a bit dehydrated so im hydrating. Vet gave him esbilac. Should he get any antibiotics? The bumps dont look infected. He moves his leg fine. Hes 31 grams. I named him Freddy. See pics below.
Issue #2 is with a full grown adult i saw at work today hanging out by the cafeteria. His face looks awful!! Im thinking abcess that opened, as it looks smiliar to the abcess one of my wild squirrels at home had. Should i treat him wth antibiotics? He seems friendly & begs for food so im sure i can medicate him with a nut. Thoughts? He moved fine & is chunky....for a florida squirrel.
