Many furry friends

Oh my goodness, it's squirrel season year round there it sounds like.  Is there a time of year you don't get in baby squirrels?  I hope the little boy with the cut tail does well and it's not a permanent injury.  That sweet little cat caught girl, give her a little kissy for me    That's funny about 'sweet' little Jill, quite a fireball huh?  They look so sweet, it's hard to believe they can be so fiesty

Usually from about April to mid July I do not have babies but other times of the year we at least have a few.  The biggest time is between mid July and November.
The little guy with the bad tail is doing fine but the tail is obviously broken in the middle and when he moves it the tail bends in the middle of the tail and pulls up toward his body.  Not sure how that will effect the movement as he gets older. 
Jill growls at me every day when I put food into her cage.  She is definitely a grumpy girl

I don't remember, did Jill ever get Esbilac?

[Charley Chuckles]

does the squirrel season here in Florida not begin till April  I was thinking more like May....but then again you had some early too 

[sqrlady]

No Jill never got Esbilac.  She is head injured though and it seems the head injuries can either make them very mean or very sweet. 
Actually I rarely get any babies in Florida between April and July, then it is overwhelming with babies coming in from July until November really heavy.  We get some between November and April but not as many. 

Here is a little guy I got from a lady that was having some trouble with him.  His name is Mickey and I am thinking he may be a Downs baby.  He has swollen joints, although they are better.  He is about 8 weeks old and very tiny for his age, he just stood up for the first time today.  He is absolutely adorable though and I am just in love with the little guy.

What a beautiful little guy.   WELCOME MICKEY!!!

Little Mickey is doing great.  His joints continue be less swollen, he is standing and even walking a little now.  He is a great eater on this formula too, but has yet to try any solid foods. 

[Charley Chuckles]

that is so great I just think Mickey is wonderful

Mickey continues to improve.  He was actually nervous for the first time tonight.  I guess something was scary.  He will always have problems with his right front foot even if the joint goes down completely but he will adapt well.  He still has an odd coat in that it has some places where the fur goes in different directions, but he is definitely doing better each day.

Mickey what a darling, and he has cowlicks  now that is different....he makes me want to kiss his sweet face  certainly a doll baby 

[sqrlady]

Yes, Mickey has cowlicks for sure.  He ate like a pig this morning (12 cc's).  He seems to be getting stronger all the time too.  The one front foot turns sideways so it will never be normal but it is not a hinderance to him.

Mickey is much more alert and busy today.  His front legs are definitely short for a squirrel and he is still very small for his age.  Only one joint is still reddish in color and slightly swollen but the others are almost completely back to normal.  He has started to nibble just a tiny bit on some of his cereals. 

[Squirrel Nut]

That is so good to hear how well he is coming along. Go get um Mickey!!

[skye]

Cute little darling  glad to hear he is doing well 

[sqrlady]

Mickey is doing great tonight.  He kind of walks on the sides of his front feet a bit, but is sure doesn't slow him down.  The swellings are now almost completely gone in his joints.  He is starting to nibble more at the dry mix of foods too. 

[Squirrel Nut]

Sounds like he is well on his way to recovery. Well as much as he can anyways.

Mickey looks Great, being a former Marine, hard as nails, bad ass and all the other stuff, seeing the little one just melts my heart, I don't see how you do it, I'm just glad that you do

You should have seen him this morning.  For the first time Mickey was standing up on his back legs begging for breakfast.  Before you used to have to wake him up to eat.  Now he is not only awake but begging for it.  He is so cute.  We are going to try to get a new set of pictures of him soon as he is changing as he is feeling better.  His joints all only slightly swollen now.  I am going to give him a second shot of the convenia to help knock out anything else that might be there but that sure did do the trick with it.  He started feeling better by the next day after getting that shot.  Then the joint swelling started going down.  I am just glad he is doing better now as he is such a sweet little one.

[ROCKYNUTS]

I wish I could have been there and seen that, WOW that is such great news!!! will be looking forward to more pictures  them

[sqrlady]

I noticed for the first time today that two of Mickey's toes on his front foot are fused.  This is the foot he had the most trouble with the joint swelling.  It doesn't bother him in the least though.
