What should I do if my flying squirrel needs an emergency vet?

Answer by  tee09 (31)

You should look in the Yellow Pages or call up directory assistance to find a number for an emergency vet. Even though your squirrel can fly, he should be cooperative if he is sick, so you can bring him. Also, consider getting a new pet.

I would call the emergency vet and see what they say. Usually there are several emergency vets around in any given place.

I suggest you call the local animal rescue and ask there advice on a good Vet. You could search on the Internet for local small animal doctors as well. But if it is imperative, the local vet should be trained in small animal care as well.

If your exotic pet is experiencing trouble you need to first look up local vets. Find out if any of them can treat a flying squirrel. Many veterinarians will know what to do with him. Look up emergency vets in your local area. There is no reason why you couldn't take you flying squirrel to a regular vet.

Google "vet", "emergency vet", or "24 hour vet". You should be able to find a vet that is open for emergencies, and they will attend to your squirrel.

The best time to find a vet for any unusual pet is before you need one. Having said that, if it is an emergency you can call vets in the area and ask if they can help with a flying squirrel that needs medical attention. If they treat small mammals, than they should be able to help.
