What a morning! Our little Princess presented with seizures, very stuttered respirations, and no response to touch or pain. But one of our sub-permitees and our rehabilitator fought. We could see &#8216;her&#8217; in her eyes, she was still there but struggling in a big way.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWithout being too clich\u00e9 we &#8216;threw the book at her&#8217; after we got the seizures stopped \u2014 heat, sugar, subq fluids, body massages, antibiotics \u2014 and we didn&#8217;t stop. For nearly two hours straight she was the only critter on the planet, and she had our undivided attention.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And later, she added the following:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are proud to provide this update: Princess is on her feet and just now took some emergency rescue food called <a href=\"https:\/\/emeraid.com\/vet\/emeraid-omnivore\/\">EmerAid<\/a> by Lafeber. EmerAid is a semi-elemental diet designed to meet the needs of critically ill patients. Yes, this is totally a plug for them, their product is as valuable as gold!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnyway, we&#8217;ve got crazy catch-up to do but wanted to share an update as soon as possible. Princess is still in critical condition, but things appear to be headed in the right direction.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rescuers from Acorn Acres do everything possible to save a squirrel suffering seizures and other health problems, and after much care get her on the road to recovery. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":9013,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_themeisle_gutenberg_block_has_review":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8999","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 -
