I DONT HAVE MONEY TO TAKE HER TO THE VET!!!!! her names Suzie.Can i save her?? Please im desperate!!! anybody know how to take care of a 3-4 month old chipmunk?
If she looks young, I advise you not to give her hard foods, for her teeth could chip.


Take a shoebox, or something comfortable, and put padding or something inside to make it soft.


Take a Tensor Wrap or something of the sort, and cut it into a thin strip.


Wrap Suzie's leg (GENTLY!) with the strip to keep it in place. Do not use a clip, just tie it, because she'll shew on the clip and that could result in injury.


Set a little bowl of water close to her face, and give her some soft foods to eat. I advise you to use the eye dropper to give her a little bit of milk every day, to help her heal.


Do not make any sudden movements when she can see you, and is she gets figity, gently soothe her by stroking the top of her head.


And lastly, if you don't have money to talk her to the vet, you should at least call a vetrinarian.Can i save her?? Please im desperate!!! anybody know how to take care of a 3-4 month old chipmunk?
once i found a baby bird and we fed him for a few months and he lived

Report Abuse



call your local vet right away %26amp; ask them t o recommend a local rehab expert for chipmunks.they have the experience to care for them. every one i have used in my area have come to my house to pick them up %26amp; do not charge for the service.the best part is after their rehab they are introduced back into the wild where they belong.
If you can't take it to the vet, the best thing you can do is place a lid on the shoe box (make sure it is well ventilated) and put her somewhere quite for a while where your cats cannot get to her. Not only is she injured, but is most likely in shock as well.
:/


just take her to the vet!


its going to be worth it!


either that or she dies.
actually i found a baby chipmunk that my cat was bullying too and it looked like it had a badly broken leg too and it couldnt walk it wouldjust stagger! i put it in a shoe box with hamster bedding and hamster food and a small towel. he went to sleep for like 2 or 3 hours then he all of a sudden recovered or something! he jumped out of the shoebox and ran all over the house. he still is unless he got out of the house (hopefully) just let him sleep. good deep sleep really helps A LOT! see how she is in a few hours
