Fortunately I live close to the Washington State University Veterinary Hospital. I took the little thing in and the doctor isn't too worried about parasites, but believes that (s)he's dehydrated, which pretty much stops all digestive function. She thinks the shipping process stressed it out too much and since it was so small and fragile, things went downhill from there. So I left it there and they are going to put it on fluids and force feed it if they have to. I'm not going to give up on the thing - I am really attached to it now. So hopefully it will pull through. I will keep posting updates on it because if it lives it will be my little miracle baby.

The empty cage makes me sad though.
