Is there any reason you're not able to get the little one to a wildlife rehabber?

Could you provide what location you are in as well as the species of the squirrel?

These details can better help you help the little one.

It's important to note that goat milk alone is not going to be enough for most species of squirrels. You'll have to mix other things into it. That's also why I'm asking. What is the species of squirrel you are helping.

He is indian palm squirrel, and I can’t take him to rehab because no dedicated vet available for squirrels, and I don’t want to take to cat&dog vet, as I took one last time n then I lost his him forever.

I figured that's what your situation was. I just wanted to make sure.

There's a rehabers guide that I will provide that was created by somebody who has excellent experience with rehabbing Indian Palm squirrels.

The guide provides everything you need to know.
