I saw three squirrels in two different parks with the following health problem. The first one (an adult) I saw only once; he came on the last Thanksgiving with a visit to the horrendous park. He looked sick, he was lethargic, his alertness and reactions to the surroundings were clearly compromised, his eyes were foggy, he was holding his nuts-full paws sideway, his head was tilted sideway down, and while eating he was HOLDING HIS HEAD UP.
The other squirrel in another, wild park (an adult female) had the same symptoms plus while eating she kept on FALLING ON HER BACK.
The third squirrel (a male baby, his name is Parachuter), who resides in the horrendous park, has some, as if the beginning symptoms of the same ailment; those affecting his arms (paws) and his head. Additionally, while sitting on his hind legs and eating he keeps on FALLING ON HIS SIDE. He is also very unnaturally agitated, behaves like crazy. He has been having these symptoms for the last three weeks.
What could be their ailment? An infection? A mild poisoning? An early stage of rabies?
