ORIGINAL: ImpressMeFirst awwww, hope the little critter gets better. it's not really your fault, it's the fault of the critter that bit him. my mom nursed a newborn squirrel back to health after she fell out of the nest. she couldn't go back outside as she was 90% blind, so for a number of years we had a 6 ft tall by 4 ft square cage in the living room. she had a vet prescribed diet and tree branches to climb on and she adored my mother, loved to sit on mom's shoulder and just cuddle. just know you've done everything you can to help the little one and without you he probably wouldn't even be here now. Chell You're sweet to say all that, dear, but it was kinda My fault. The cat that grabbed him off My lap was a semi-feral who was only in the house to get something to eat. She was sitting on the floor at My feet, waiting for her shot, and she'd been perving the squirrel cage for hours. None of our other cats had ever tried anything, so I was complacent. We do wildlife damage control and rehab for our state, so a house full of various wild and domestic creatures is normal. Currently on deck: eight cats, six rats, one female Mallard duck, one baby possum (also female, and an excellent candidate for release. possums are so funny-looking, but she's such a toot), and one very sick little boy squirrel, who was already not a candidate for release because of initial injuries sustained in his fall from his nest when he was a hairless newborn. He's a lovebug, and a fighter, though, and so am I. We love him very much. If anyone believes in praying for animals, I ask Yyou from My heart to Yyours to do so now. Please and Thank You.
