I am taking my Wildflife Rehabilitators Exam this Sunday coming up...
so I have been branching out a bit.
We had a bout of myco poisoning last week (squirrels)...we suspect aflatoxin...fast onset, vomiting, seizures and death within 12 hours...we lost our Clivey...but managed to pull Webster through...we think it was their food blocks.
So we only have the three squirrels now...we also lost our release window for them and now have to over-winter them till spring. At least the other three pulled through...it was a horrible long week for us. Heartbreaking.
I had over estimated their age...in the beginning of the blog I said 1-2 weeks...it was more like 4 days.
If you can't get sisal to work...try jute...it's just as effective and edible as well!
I have updated pics...I have been so busy with my course I haven't had time to post them...and now I just don't have the heart to go through the saved pics yet...
maybe in a week or so when it doesn't hurt so much!
Clivey was so horribly sick...and when he passed away in my arms my heart broke...but before I could cry for him...Webby started to vomit and crash...so I had to put everything aside and focus on the rest of the furkids.
It was 4 days before I was able to sleep and to cry for Clivey.
I know I shouldn't have favorites...but he was the runt of the group...we worked so hard to keep him healthy and to bring him up to the level of the other squirrels...then to lose him so fast.
I'll update everything soon...
Maybe after the weekend!
