Paraplegic Chipmunk - Paw Talk

Toadie78 · #1 07-04-2004, 08:24 PM

I recently acquired a Partially Paraplegic Chipmunk from a friend whom didnt know how or would be able to care for it. He is very loveable even though wild. Just looking for suggestions on caring for him/her

Has no external wounds but may have a partially broken back as you can feel a gap in the veretbrae.

Please Help

Im a lil mad right now. i told My stepmom about the chipmunk and she said no rodents so if she finds out i actually have him im in deep **** and i know i should have kept my mouth shut. Im gonna try to keep him but keep him hidden as best i can but will still love him as much as i can.

Perhaps then, especially with your parents not granting permission to keep him, you should search for a wildlife rehab facility in your area?

well i had given him to a Rehab place and i just got a call today that he had died apparently from internal injuries that could have not been prevented or cured.

How sad.

I'm sorry that he died. You did everything you could to save him and you should be proud of that.
