I found a baby chipmunk yesterday, but it seems to be dying, like hes sleeping and dont want to move, help!!!!?

I put him in my garage where it's really warm, he's in a small box with cloth in it to help keep him warm, i've tried feeding him a little bit milk with a medicine dropper but it doesn't seem to help, he just lay's there like he's sleeping and doesn't move but a little bit, he can fit in the palm of my hand, like the size of a mouse, he has fur and the stripes on him also, i called a few vets and they just say bring him in so we can put him to sleep, but if they are going to do that then just give me some info and I will try and save him myself, it's worth a shot. Please help!I found a baby chipmunk yesterday, but it seems to be dying, like hes sleeping and dont want to move, help!!!!?
You say 'Baby Chipmunk' and in my experience, baby animals tend to sleep a lot, so don't be too concerned about that.





Vets generally work with pets, so maybe you should contact a Wildlife Center instead; Wildlife Center's typically care for wild animals, so they should have some good advice, or they may even be able to take him and care for him.





You could always do a search on 'Caring For Chipmunks' via Google, as it brings up some good sites where you could find all amounts of useful information.





Sorry this isn't too helpful, because I don't know too much about chipmunks, but I think the sites listed could help. Good luck.I found a baby chipmunk yesterday, but it seems to be dying, like hes sleeping and dont want to move, help!!!!?

It's not clear how you ended up with the chipmunk, or if there was something wrong with him. At the least, he's probably in shock; avoid (as much as possible) touching him or exposing him to human contact or anything else strange, large, or loud. Direct warmth is key; a heating pad under a towel is ideal. Make sure he can also get away from the heat if he wants to. Have a shallow water dish, and maybe some ground-up nuts, or finely-diced greens in there too.





It's a touchy situation, but it would be best to leave him where his mother can recover him, if there's any chance of that. If you have a heating pad and extension cord, you could leave him out in a shallow box with the heat during the day, and observe from inside (I don't know what the location is like).





There also may be a wildlife recovery group in your area, which is set up to deal with exactly these sorts of situations. They might take him off your hands (and try to save him), or they might have advice if you want to go it alone.





If you're going to keep him, you can try feeding him water with a little sugar mixed in, or baby formula. A dropper is good, or you can try a balloon with a hole in it (to simulate mom's nipple), or a small baby bottle/nipple setup.





The odds are against you on this unfortunately, and the more you raise the chipmunk, the less well-equipped it will be to return to nature on its own. But it's worth trying; if the baby gets through a couple days, it will probably have a decent chance of growing up to adulthood.





Good luck!
No don't get rid of it and leave it in place where you found may be its mother will come again, don't get your hands dirty.
