Your Advice Please: I am caring for an orphaned American Red Squirrel. →[More:]

I found the squirrel in the street this evening. She is sluggish and often arches her head back (possible hypoglycemia).

It is possible that she was batted about by the local cats but I'm not sure about that. There are no apparent injuries.

She is very sluggish and VERY docile. Appears to be either an adult or 7-9 weeks old (almost weened.)

I cupped her, initially, in the crook of my arm and she climbed to my head where she stayed a while. I gave her ample opportunity to escape by laying in the road (I live on a dead end) but she stayed, clinging to my shirt. She would spend the next two hours in my shirt pocket.

Currently, she is in a covered box, laying in comfy shredded flannel not quite sleeping, not curled up but stretched out on her side.

I did some research on the web and the arching of the back and head is described as a hypoglycemic seizure so I gave her a drop of very watered down glucose (as per the instructions) but there hasn't been any change. She does not appear to be dehydrated or cold.

Has anyone here been through this - getting a small critter through the night. I have the numbers for rehab people in my town to call in the morning but for now, I feel like I am missing something I should be doing.
