Squirrel fell in pool, now twitching and struggling. Is it dying?

The prudent chice would be to get them into the hands of an experienced wildlife rehabilitaor. This person will have the knowledge and experience to give the birds the greatest chance at eventual release. You can search online for local rehabbers or you can contact a local veterinary clinic or veternary ER. Theses places usually have contact information for rehabilitators.

I am sorry to hear about Potol. It sounds like he is in need of urgent veterinary care. If he is weak and not eating he is likely very dehydrated and may need aggressive supportive care such as fluids given under the skin on via a vein. The vet will need to examine him and get a history to try to determine why he is not eating to address the underlying problem.

Hello there! This little rat does not look very good at all. Unfortunately, there are many different diseases that outdoor rats can have - some that are zoonotic (this means transmissable to humans and other animals, so be sure to wash well after handling him) - and without a complete workup by a vet, it's not likely that he's going to survive the next couple of days. Even if you do bring him to the vet, there might not be much that can be done for him at this point. He is thin, he has a hunched body posture (an indicator of pain and severe stress), and his sunken, squinted eyes indicate dehydration. The respiratory symptoms you mentioned are very common in wild rat species, and are usually fatal. I highly suggest that you contact a veterinarian and consider humane euthanasia for this guy. You could also try to call a wildlife rehabber, but only if you can get in touch with one that will take the rat immediately. I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it looks like you've done everything you can at home. If you can't get him to the vet right away, keep him warm and quiet. His little container looks quite comfy, but he needs professional care. Thank you for taking him in, and good luck.

He may be stressed or injured. Without an exam, it is difficult to determine. Monitor it as best as you can. If he falls out of the tree, place him in a soft, padded box or cage until he recovers. You can also contact a local veterinarian and ask if they know of or work with a wildlife specialist that could examine, treat and eventually release the bird.

Hello, I would recommend taking Chip into a veterinarian as soon as possible. Dull behavior, weight loss, and vomiting are signs of serious disease. I worry that cancer or organ failure is possible. Small animals will also become dehydrated more quickly, and this can make the disease worse. Your vet can guide you best once they have performed a physical exam. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Thanks for reaching out about Maverick. A veterinary visit is recommended, as soon as possible. Wish more advise could be given but medical attention to determine a cause and to assess Maverick now is most important. Good luck.

I'm sorry Meenu is not doing well. I recommend you find an exotics veterinarian asap. If he was not born in captivity but was a wild squirrel you attempted to raise he may have parasites or be dealing with malnutrition if he was not on an approriate formula. I would search for an exotics specialist asap. They may want to test for parasites and may be able to offer a critical formula that he can be syringe fed. Good luck.
