REPOST: Help in St. Pete

[momma2boo]

Hi everyone I have a wild that has shown up and is in distress. She has her back arched and is taking only little steps hopping like a bunny. She is eating and drinking. Her fur seems a bit dishelved as if she isn't grooming herself.
I'm not sure what her problem is and difer to the board for help. I'm reluctant to trap her at this time as the last one I did died in my arms after getting her to a vet. She is distressed but not in dire need
Thanks

Sounds more serious so I took it upon myself to repost it here. It is in the non emergency section.

Sounds like she would not be able to elude a predator or more dominant squirrel, so unless you trap her, she could be in danger.

Penny's Dad...I am going to pm you the number of a person who will come and look at him when you see him.
