Hi cagney dog, just me, your biggest fan again. I've told so many friends of mine about Dayo, but, they are not familier with this forum and can't find your thread. I've replied again so they can see it under dog general.
And, to be perfectly honest, I want to see another picture of Dayo myself ;)
I know you are busy being a mother squirrel these days, so, I will just sit and wait for his second debut!!!! My sister can't believe what you are doing . :eek:
Glad to hear the squirrel is still doing good! I'll keep checking this thread for updates. (And I would also like to see more pictures of the little guy if you get the chance!) ;)
Thanks everyone. I'll try and get some more pictures. It's hard bring the laptop to the garage (it's the warmest part of the house, if youre wondering why he's in there right now) and positioning it so the webcam get a decent pic :p
I got a hold of a rescue worker. She seems very, very nice and she personally is going to take care of Dayo. I will be getting weekly updates from her on his/her progress. She said that she was impressed with my efforts so far, so that made me pretty happy :D
Unfortunately, he hasnt pooped yet today and I'm hoping he does later tonight. So far i've only been able to get him to pee once or twice a day. I read that they are supposed to go after every meal so I guess that isnt too good. I stopped feeding the pedialyte as he should be fully hydrated from it.
Thanks for the all of the support. I'm getting pretty sleep deprived from getting up every 2-3 hours, but it's worth it :p I am relieved that he'll be in good hands.
Oh, and it seems that his eyes&and eye lid are getting more defined. So I guess he is growing a bit.
A round of applause for cagneydog here!!! now, the standing ovation!!!!!!!!!!!,
whistles!!!!! :o :o :o
Thank-You , Mother Squirrel, for scurring about , investigating, teaching , telling and updating.
I have so enjoyed your wonderful rescue story!!!!
I second that. Any baby that young is extremely difficult to raise. KUDOS to you for doing such a wonderful job!!! I'll be on the lookout for new pics.Quote:

She said that she was going to put him a bit of a smaller box because it will be better to contain the heat.
Thanks everyone for the replies. I feel pretty good about this, it took a lot of commitment. One of my friends pointed out to me today that not many peoplle would even bother picking it up, nevermind waking up every 2-3 hours, research squirrels, stimulating it to go to the bathroom etc.He was sure a cutie. I'll keep updating this thread as I get updates myself.
She did sound a bit concerned when I said that he would only pee once or twice a day...typically once. I hope everything is okay.
Thanks again :)
You are awesome Lindsey! GREAT job! I'm so thrilled to read your update :). This thread has been so uplifting. You should be very proud of yourself!
You definatley did a great job! Your friend was right, not many people would be as committed to helping Dayo as you were! :)
how far away is Dayo from you now? Are you feeling the empty nest syndrome? :rolleyes:
You are "one of a kind" cagneydog!!!!! I have been addicted to the Dayo thread ever since you posted it!!!
Please, Please, keep me connected!!!
I now bow, to the magnificient cagneydog!!!! The crowd cheers your accomplishment, a life was saved because of YOU!!!! Such dedication merits a reward!!!!! I hereby bestow upon you, a certifcate of valor!!!!
the crowd applauds your heroism!!!!! Bask, in your deserving glory!!!!!
You did an awesome job. I checked this thread every day and was so happy to see him still alive. You should be very proud of yourself, that is so great. Can't wait for more updates!
I have been a little behind on Pet Talk, I am glad to hear that Dayo is in a rescue that is familiar with squirrels. Lindsay, you really did do a great job. As has already been said, not many people would have been so dedicated to caring for him. You should do something special for yourself to celebrate a job well done. :)
Any updates??
It sounds like you did such an excellent job! I'd love to hear an update :)
I sent an email to her today and I'll let you know when I have a reply back :)
Last Thursday my neighbour said he found another baby squirrel (this one double the size..still no hair though) on the sidewalk in front of the house again. There must be a nest in our trees but I can't see one. This baby was already dead. :(
Thank-you cagneyDog, for keeping us fully up-dated on Dayo!!!
I want to know how that little guy is!!!!
