Wild, paralyzed squirrel, moving, what to do?

[conny63malies]

When I took a baby robin with a broken wing to the wildlife rehabber I was told if the bird can't fly well enough they keep it for them self at home in a outside aviary. So maybe they keep the squirrel too.

my opinion is to take her to a rehab center. leaving her in the wild... she could get wear damage and infections dragging her body around. If she gets bred, will she be able to push out babies (assuming it's a she). at rehab even if they choose to put her down, it would be because it was in her best interest, not anyone elses. Staying where she is she has a greater chance of a far more traumatic death.

it's nice that you have concern for her, but I think she'd be better off under someone's care.

How did things go with your squirrel OP? I have some similar problems...

Unfortunately, the next time I saw my squirrel, she was dead. Looked like she fell out of the tree. I hope you have better luck with your squirrel!

Oh, well thank you. Unfortunately our squirrel also passed away, I was wondering for future reference.
