Why is my baby squirrel's poop watery after using milk replacer?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Diarrhea can be observed with conditions such as colitis, gastroenteritis, dietary indiscretion, intestinal parasites, among many other possibilities. I recommend that you have him evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They may choose to check for parasites and to start medications for diarrhea depending on the results. Good luck! Hoping for a speedy recovery!

Thanks for reaching out about your new squirrel. Green diarrhea is often a clinical sign of liver disease or mal-absorption problem. Cow's milk is not appropriate for rodents but not much else commercially available. If there a wildlife-rehabilitation society locally that can give some assistance? They might have an appropriate milk replacer. Good luck.

Thanks for reaching out. Rodents are difficult to hand rear as their milk has a much different conformation that cow's. Hand rearing has been more successful utilizing goat's milk with whipping cream (high fat content). The pedialyte might be diluting nutrients to where not enough calories are being delivered. This is hard. Good luck.

He is having issues because you are not feeding him the appropriate diet. Drinking cow's milk is not advised. Puppy milk replacer is best. Please refer to this article on caring for an orphaned squirrel. Way down on the page there is a whole section on feeding. If at all possible, it would be best to take him to a wildlife rehab center or vet clinic for them to care for him. ( https://www.whatdosquirrelseat.org/baby-squirrel/ )

Human Cerelac is not an appropriate diet for a growing puppy. He should be fed a puppy milk replacer such as Esbilac or Pet-Lac. The diarrhea may be due to the diet or intestinal parasites (worms). Simba should be examined by a veterinarian. If left untreated, the diarrhea can lead to dehydration which is dangerous in puppies. Submit a stool sample to diagnose intestinal parasites or bacterial overgrowth. Consider a veterinary probiotic to promote gut health. You could also mix in a bit of plain yogurt if a probiotic is not available.

Thanks for reaching out about your rabbit. It is not a kitten and kitten replacer often causes gastrointestinal upset. A veterinary clinic or wildlife rehabilitation society should be contacted as soon as possible for assistance. Try to keep water intact high to stave off dehydration. Clean the rectal area and remove feces to prevent re-ingestion. good luck.

Puppy milk is most often use to bottle feed little squirrels. You can get it from a pet shop or from your local vet. You need to get a bottle for bottle feeding (sometimes you can get a whole kit which contain milk and a bottle). Then you need to follow feeding instruction that you will find on the milk.
