I just got a beep of a new post from prayers of zippykat and had to share this!
just today, I was limping by with crayola and saw something moving under the pile of leaves.. I asked crayola sit, down and stay, and walked closer, it tried escaped from me, (the pile of leaves), it limped then keeps on falling on its right side where the injury leg was. it stopped and didn't want to run anymore. I felt so bad when it tried to escape, it didn't move at least a inch. it was a baby squirrel!!
of course, the first thing I thought was...tonya's (zippykat) who lost her squacky and wanted to name him squacky in honor of zippy's little one!
I picked him up, took him with me, he's much comfortable and afriadless if I close my both hands a little. not much furs grown yet.. when you hold him up in the air, you could see part of his leg hanging from side to side
zippy, or anyone...help me! I've never taken in squrriel before.. I have to take him to the vet but no car right now, hope to find a ride soon. while I try calling my vet, what should I feed him? should I keep him really warm or towel would be too much for him... I'm helpless but can't let this helpless squacky being taken by a predator! and to hope recover him then release back into his 'home'...
any help would be great, thanks a bunch!!
ps; oh, my concern, should I look for the nest on the ground or up in tree? just want to check & make sure all the other little ones are fine too..
