Hello everyone,
I just saw a squirrel outside my house, and it seemed off; it moves pretty slowly, and seems off-balance. Also, I didn't get a very good look, but I think it might have a cut on its head. I put a paper bag outside with some almond butter in it, just so it could have some food - what else should I do?

Got get it and put it in a cat carrier if you have one. Bring it inside. Do not worry they do not carry desease. Its a Grey Squirrel yes? It sounds like it may have been hit by a car. It you can get it and you can. Put it in a quiet dark room to lesson the stress.

Thanks for the help - it's up in a tree now, but if it comes down I'll follow your advice. :thankyou :goodpost

May have been stunned by a fall.
Just keep an eye out for it, and see if it recovers.
