PLLLLZZZZZZZZZZZ HELP......

Most likely, her back is broken. I am sorry to tell you this. You need to get her to a veterinarian as soon as possible to determine whether she merely broke her back legs, or she actually broke her back or spine. The legs would need to be set so they can heal properly. I am very sorry but this is NOT a good situation and cannot be healed over the internet.

[thegodfather]

Any idea why she is acting weird n not letting us touch her......

[island rehabber]

She is most likely IN PAIN! Please get her some help as soon as possible.

[thegodfather]

In our city there aren't any good vets.......but still i'll try it for her...
she shud come in d hands of vet...

Your squirrels biting and aggression is normal behavior for her age and it will usually get worse over time. Squirrels are wild animals even raised in captivity and this is why MOST make poor pets! Now she has paid dearly for this natural behavior and needs to see a vet ASAP! As IR said she likely may have a spinal injury and its not something you can treat yourself at home. If she does recover is she native to your area? If she is I would think seriously about doing a soft release so she can be free as she was meant to be. Stacey

Definitely should. If her leg(s) are broken, they can possibly be set, and will heal. If her back is broken.....not good.

Godfather, I don't how far this would be from you because I don't know if Mumbai is a city or a state/province, but this info was listed on Google

I don't know if they see exotic animals or not. Is it legal to have a pet squirrel where you are? I only ask because, in some places in the U.S., it isn't and a person might risk having the animal taken away from them. I hope your squirrel recovers.

[Twi_prime]

I didn't see much specific info on this doctor's website, but he has cute images at the top of the page of a variety of animals, including a bunny and what looked like a hamster. I know, squirrels aren't hamsters, but maybe you could call and ask if he sees exotic pets. Maybe other members could suggest the right way to ask so you don't arouse suspicion, in case there's some law against having a pet squirrel there?

That poor little baby. She needs something for the pain. :Cry
Has anyone heard from TheGodFather

When the Squirrel starts getting aggressive they are Board, Lonesome, and Needs Released. Has she been Passing the cage? Back and forth! Back and Forth! Does she get time out to run and Play? Can you post what her diet is and try to get a video of her. That way we can see how she is moving. Have you tried to contact a Rehabber in your area? They might be able to tack her to a Vet for some help. Please try to find a Rehabber.
She really needs Pain Medicine.
Please keep your brother away from her.

PS
When you have a Wild Animal living in captivity by not there choice. BITTING and AGRESSION is there only way to tell you stay away and out of her home. This is what we call Wilding Up. She is telling you She is ready for her Freedom!! :thumbsup3 Please try to find a Rehabber, or a Vet in your area. She can Die from Stress and Pain! Does she have white milky looking stuff coming out of her eyes? That is another sine of Stress and Pain.
