I'm sorry Meenu is not doing well. I recommend you find an exotics veterinarian asap. If he was not born in captivity but was a wild squirrel you attempted to raise he may have parasites or be dealing with malnutrition if he was not on an approriate formula. I would search for an exotics specialist asap. They may want to test for parasites and may be able to offer a critical formula that he can be syringe fed. Good luck.
