Chipmunk with mange?

[tlynn]

Hi, I know this is a squirrel sight, but I couldn't really find anything that could help answer my question, and i thought you guys could! :) today we found a little chimpmunk in our barn, and were shocked to find that it had no hair on its face (so it looked like a rat face ) also, there is a little circular patch of no hiar on one leg, and a bigger one on its back leg. It seems to be acting fine, I'm not sure if it is a full adult because it isn't biting us or anything when we caught it. ( we were worried the cats would get it. ) also, it looks like a predator chewed off the tip of its tail. All in all, its in bad shape, but so adorable and sweet and we hope ( " we " being my mom and I, and little sister) we can help it as much as we are able to.

Do you think it has mange? its weird that its just a plain bald face with no scabes or anything, lik e its hairlesss..... .

Once we did raise a little black squirrel, Peek-a-boo, she was our little sweety and we miss her a lot! :(

thanks so much! your help would be greatly appreciated!
