I Found A Baby Squirrel?

One Of Our Cats Brought In A Baby Squirrel In The House, And I Was Wondering What To Feed It And If It Had Tetanus, How Could We Get It From Him ?


We Put Him In A Small Basket, And Put A Paper Towel Over Him.


We Put A Water Bottle Filled With Hot Water In A Sock And Put It Next To Him. What Else Should We Do ?

take him to a wildlife rehabilitator asap! he was in a cat's mouth so needs antibiotics (even if no puncture wounds). do not attempt to feed it anything. keeping it warm with a heating pad on low is goodI Found A Baby Squirrel?
If your cat has bitten or scratched the squirrel, there's a good chance it won't survive. Keep it in the box over night, and leave it alone, DON'T stress it out. Check on it in the morning, if it's lively, let it back outside, if not, you could see if there's an animal rescue for wildlife around you that'll take it in. Generally, raising squirrels isn't hard, I've had quite a few successfully released back into the 'wild' of our city, now and again they drop by for a peanut.
If there is a natural park near by, take it to one of the park rangers. They know how to handle and care for them and who to give them to. If not, then go to a local shelter or zoo and see if they can help find a foster home for it.
take it to the vet
