Horribly infected front paw!

[TubeDriver]

When it rains it pours. :( I just started a thread here about old alpha male "Notch" and his rear leg not working yesterday (broken?). While waiting for Notch to show up this morning, another squirrel "Spaz" shows up with horribly infected front paw. Note that Spaz has always had a damaged paw. We don't know if he was born with it or if he was injured when younger? It has become infected or bleeding at times but it always healed up. This looks MUCH worse. I think he chewed off one of his remaining fingers. :Cry

I am beside myself. Spaz only visits about 1 day a week (for the last 3 years) so I'll never be able to treat him unless I catch him and that will be difficult too. My poor Spaz. :Cry I don't know what to do?

[Chickenlegs]

Will he come close enough to take a treat--laced with antibiotics?

[TubeDriver]

Will he come close enough to take a treat--laced with antibiotics?


Yes, (in that first pic Spaz is about 6" from my foot) but Spaz only comes by maybe 1-2 times a week at most. I frequently wont see him for a week or two. Wouldn't I need to treat him daily for 5-7 days?

Does anyone know if this is what I should get:

If so, I am going to place an order.

[pappy1264]

Yes, that is it. But you will need to catch him to properly treat. That foot reminds me very much of Angels foot. Did Baytril and pain meds for her, and it did clear up. Do you think you can catch him and do you have a cage big enough he won't kill himself in? Tough situation. Poor guy, that has to hurt!

Thanks. I have a Hav-a-hart to catch him but no cage to keep him in longer term. I have a rehabber fairly close by, will PM him.

[Unikorngrrl]

Good Luck TubeDriver!! :grouphug :Love_Icon :grouphug

[MollyBear361]

Poor guy!

[Sweet Simon's Mommy]

I would catch him.
I am not sure but I would think the smell will alert his predators and he will not be able to run and climb fast enough to get away .

I sent a PM to a local rehabber.


I have a Hav-a-hart trap and ABs. What size cage would I need to keep/treat Spaz for 5-7 days? Something like this:

[Unikorngrrl]

Where are you on the east coast? I'm in AL, anywhere near me? Just asking b/c I have cages just sitting here while I wait on my permit (not really, would be doing it without a permit, but you know...). You'd be welcome to use one...

A couple of years ago JLM had one of her wild friends in a similar situation.
She trapped him and treated him inside for about a month or so until his infection went away completely. He was wild, but she still managed to treat him. Then, she released him back and he kept coming for treats afterwards.
So, it can be done.

I think that is the plan at this point.

[Sweet Simon's Mommy]

there is someone near is near DC
maybe she can help I have PM'd her

[MiriamS]

Tubedriver, I'm in DC and can help you. I'll send a PM.

[TubeDriver]

Thank you. Just so you know, I have already been in touch with StepnStone who lives pretty close. But I welcome all the help I can get.

[pappy1264]

Yeah....thank you, Miriam!!

[island rehabber]

:wott Thank you Miriam!! :grouphug

[MiriamS]

Does everyone agree that this squirrel needs to be trapped and put on a long course of Baytril until the wound heals? I am going to contact UDoWhat to see if she can take him. She has great experience with wounded adult squirrels.

[Sweet Simon's Mommy]

I totally agree!!

[TubeDriver]

I plan on trapping him. I just need to find someone who can take and care for Spaz until he is better and can be released.


Thanks everyone for the advice, help and support! :thankyou

[Fireweed]

Good luck, TD and Spaz! :bowdown

[pappy1264]

Praying hard for this little guy. If this is an ongoing issue, I wonder if it might be worth having a vet assess if the paw needs to be removed, so it can once and for all? Just thinking out loud, but the paw itself will most likely not be useable, and if it will cause him to chew it again, perhaps have a clean removal might be a better course? Just thinking out loud. I know with Angel, that was on the table, depending on what it healed (or not) like. Thankfully hers healed well, and she had no other issues *but her being an nr, she didn't really need it to climb.

[stepnstone]

Thank you. Just so you know, I have already been in touch with StepnStone who lives pretty close. But I welcome all the help I can get.
Thanks for the acknowledgement TD...
Sorry I couldn't stay on line with you but as I explained I had an injury abcess coming in that needed immediate attention.
Searching your address from the last time Miriam may be closer to you, UdoWhat is but a stones throw from my place.
So, whatever floats the boat...

First step is do whatever you can to try and trap him, from what I make of the picture IMO he's going to need more
then just anti biotics.

[MiriamS]

Pappy I think you and Stepnstone are correct and that this paw needs a vet's attention.

Where is DC Ala?

Where is DC Ala?
Bobby the "DC" referred to here is the District of Columbia, Nation's Capital,

[TubeDriver]

Update day 2:

No sighting of little Spaz. I'll be here for another 30 minutes waiting.

[SammysMom]

Prayers for his appearance! I know you are so worried, but remember that sometimes the hole up to rest and heal. I sure hope he comes and gets the help he needs though...:grouphug :Love_Icon :grouphug

[TubeDriver]

Never saw Spaz this morning. I did feed my other injured squirrel Notch (see other thread about his leg).

On the way to work I saw a squirrel that had been killed by a car (maybe 1/2 mile from my house) and then while walking into work I see a bunny that has a dead eye (all white and he had to turn his head to see me with his good eye).

Seeing all this has me pretty bummed out today. :(

[JLM27]

I agree. I have never been sorry I trapped Munchkin (even though he probably stamps his back feet every time he hears me whistle). The only downside is once you start snatching and trapping, the clan may become more wary around you. In particular I notice that ever since Munchkin no one will let their babies near me. May have no relationship at all. Just sayin'.

I am not really worried about that. I would much rather have Notch and Spaz healthy and free even if it means I never see them again.

I have at least a dozen daily visitors, so I have no shortage of daily squirrel fun.

I looked out my window today and 3 squirrels were strategically placed around my deck (all pancaking) waiting for me to show up.

[BigNibbler]

You may be her only hope.
That will likely kill her, from sepsis.
She may come by more often, if your food is easier to find than her stashes.
She cannot dig them up as well.
She may circle back to you.

Suppose you put a trap right up on that wood.
Use some framing galvanized wire to circle the wood and go through the frame of the trap. way past the trip plate.

Keep a pair of diagonal cutters nearby to snip the wire when she is in the trap, just pick up the trap..

It looks like your window is very close to the wood beam.
Maybe you could put a pencil, wood dowel, something in the frame, to keep the trap from closing. Use a nylon fishing line, to that dowel, through metal eye hooks, or plastic nylon guides, all the way to inside your house.

PULL THE CORD when she is in the trap, or when you know she will be coming back. IF you have smaller fragments of food, below a 1/3 by 1/3 inch, she may stay in to eat.. larger than that she will leave. Staying in, gives more time to trap her, but also longer for the other squirrels to keep trap occupied. You may get only one more chance to save her. She will probably not get sepsis for a good ten days. You have time to practice the cord pull. Make sure the trap does not snag or trip too easily.

She looks beautiful. I hope you can help her.

[TubeDriver]

I do have a trap. I am just afraid that Spaz will not return. She only comes around a maybe once a week.

I have my trap ready by the door and StepnStone (rehabber) is ready to take her in for treatment if I can catch her.

I'll try again tonight and tomorrow morning (late morning is when she usually shows up).


She is a beautiful squirrel. We first saw her almost 3 years ago when she was an adolescent. She was super rambunctious, always getting into trouble. She ran into our house through an open door and my panicked wife chased her through the entire house before chasing her out again. When I came home, I found pee in our upstairs bathroom floor and a poo gift under our bed! :) I also remember Spaz jumping into bushes and then being chased out by angry, mother birds! That is why we named her Spaz.

I have a picture of her from two weeks ago when her deformed paw was "normal". She looked so happy. I can see the anxiety and hurt in her face now, she looks different. I hope I can save her.

Just to make it clear, as I indicated in my first post: Spaz has always had a deformed foot. Even at its best, it looks pretty funky. It has become infected slightly in the past but never anything close to what it looks like now. Here is Spaz's foot as it looks normally:

I somehow missed seeing that?? Makes a bit of a difference.
The picture speaks volumes!
Agreeably the foot is messed up and needs attention
but maybe it's not as bad as I've been thinking.

Sent you a PM, will wait to hear what you advise. Thanks.

Got it. :thumbsup
Regardless of initial "deformity," Spaz still needs intervention...

[TubeDriver]

Spaz was a no-show this morning. :( I hope he is resting comfortably since we have big storms rolling through today.

Spaz was a no-show today. Just keeping my fingers crossed.

[TubeDriver]

It has been a couple more days and still no sign off Spaz. :(


I'll continue to keep an eye out of him but I think he has decided to deal with this alone. Just keeping my fingers crossed. I put out a second bowl of water with some HHBs under a tree that is frequently used by my wild squirrels. I figure the healthy, well fed ones will ignore them but a sick and hungry squirrel might go for them.

[TubeDriver]

I have not seen Spaz since 6/11. :( Spaz was always pretty independent and would only come around maybe 1-2 times a week so I have not given up hope. I have AB dose waiting for him if he shows.

I sure hope that he comes around........he will feel so much better if he only would let you help him.:grouphug

[TubeDriver]

It is with a heavy heart that I report that I have not seen Spaz since 6/11. :(

I try to not have favorites with my wild squirrels but in all honesty Spaz was special. We have watched him grow up over the last 3 years from an adolescent to a strong, healthy adult. He has been in our house (chased around by my panicked wife), pooped under our bed, and generally been a little rascal. Always getting into trouble with the neighborhood birds (chasing or being chased), he was generally fearless and was one of the first squirrels to eat from my hand.

I have not given up on him yet but I am past worried at this point. I'll just keep on looking out for my little friend and hope he shows up healed and healthy.

Just one thing that may give you a little comfort. If the mamas have babies now where you live,
Spaz may have gotten chased off temporarily.
I remember around here how many of the squirrels would disappear for a few weeks,
and gradually come back.
What I also noticed was that the moms got very over protective of the yard when she had small babies.

In fact that is how we would know when our females had the babies,
they would allow no strangers in their yard.

Have you seen most of your other squirrels, or are the numbers dwindling down a little?

[TubeDriver]

I appreciate the thought. I'll keep looking out for my little buddy. Sometimes, I'll sort of holler out his name, hoping he will hear my voice and remember that he can stop by for a treat.

[trueblue]

Oh TubeDriver... I am so sorry all of this is happening... And Spaz... You were so kind to share with me about him earlier as I talked of my True Squirrel. But remember, True was gone for over 2 weeks and came home like nothing happened. Don't lose faith. My heart is so sad reading about all the injuries your group is dealing with. But one thing I know... you are not crazy... or NUTTY....your just a SQUIRREL DAD.

:wave123 HEY TD...FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH, ALL (EVERY SINGLE ONE) OF OUR REGULARS HAVE BEEN RUN OFF??? BY THIS NEW CROP OF JUVIES THAT HAVE APPEARED. DON'T HAVE ANY IDEA WHETHER TO EXPECT THEM BACK OR NOT...MAYBE YOU HAVE A SIMILAR SITUATION. :dono

[Unikorngrrl]

Awe, TD, he's still a no show?!? I'm sure he's out and about like everyone has suggested. They're a WHOLE lot tougher than we give them credit for!!! :thumbsup :grouphug

[trueblue]

Prayers for Spaz tonight and the crew. Was just thinking, is it possible he is coming around when your at work? Do you have access to any type of camera/recorder that could be used while your away to monitor?

Remember when I was checking up on that groundhog and I borrowed one from a friend. It worked well based on movement setting it off. The groundhog relocated, and I forgot to update but he is doing well. His teeth are still overgrown, but he is getting fatter and eating grass and what-not. I cant get too close but used binoculars to last check on him. (LOL - Some of these things you can only admit here) Anyway, made me think of the camera idea.

We have a lot of young squirrels out right now too. They seem to have taken over. True's mom, or maybe sister is the proud mom of part of them. Someone bit off the tip of her tail ! And they chase her around the tree trunk. ?? But she seems ok. But this time of year is bringing about changes in the ones Im seeing too.

[TubeDriver]

Yes, things are pretty crazy in my neighborhood right now. We have a whole new crop of adolescents and it appears that mating season is going on as well. There are some new squirrels too so perhaps squirrels are moving around and changing their territories?

[SammysMom]

Prayers for Spaz and reassurances for TD. My crew is all in an uproar these days too. There seem to be extras appearing as well as regulars not appearing. I think it's just "that time of year"...:grouphug

[TubeDriver]

Great Day!!! Spaz showed up today!!!! :crazy:crazy:crazy


After being missing in action for the last two weeks, my wife called and said Spaz was outside in the rain. She thought he looked pretty good overall (not lost weight, fur looks fine etc). She was able to get him to eat a Cipro Almond.

She took a couple pics of his paw with her iphone:

Spaz certainly has a badly injured paw. It was always deformed but I think the infection looks reduced (less redness and swelling). I think he is missing a toe? I just hope he can beat the infection.

[Unikorngrrl]

So glad Spaz finally showed his face and that his little paw looks better!!! :Love_Icon

[Shewhosweptforest]

Wow that looks painful :shakehead soo glad he showed up and really good your wife got some ABs in him...and he does look like he's missing toes :yuck ...I really miss the eek face....would be perfect for this:) don't you think he probably is fighting it on his own pretty good...it does look better...inflammation wise:thumbsupthose toes probably needed to come off...nature is remarkable..and he's definitely strong, and in nature the strong survive:peace hope he hangs around so you can continue to medicate :thumbsup

[MJS]

GOOD NEWS!!! HIS FOOT LOOKS BAD, BUT BETTER THAN BEFORE. HOPEFULLY HE'LL SHOW UP ON SCHEDULE SO YOU CAN GET SOME MEDS IN HIM. :thumbsup

[Garden71]

:thumbsup :flash3

It looks like the swelling has gone down a lot.
It's not red and raw looking anymore either.
Welcome home Spaz, I had a feeling you would show up again, glad to see you back!:Love_Icon

[stepnstone]

Was thinking of Spaz today came on and saw this, good news,
paw definitely looks better.
You know you say Spaz has always had a deformed paw but can't help but
wonder considering the unlikely coincidence of like injuries on your squirrels,
if Spaz's "deformed" foot was actually an original injury like the other's are sporting and
had healed when you first met. There's just too much of a coincidence among
the squirrels in your area, something's just not right. :shakehead

Any chance to do any "door knocking" yet as we spoke about?

[Unikorngrrl]

Are you thinking some sort of traps Step?!? Or maybe some odd and assorted area that they are acquiring injuries from?

[stepnstone]

Are you thinking some sort of traps Step?!? Or maybe some odd and assorted area that they are acquiring injuries from?

Same type injury on 3 different squirrels, maybe 4, it's not a coincidence...
Definitely thinking trap of some sort. Whether intentional (for squirrels) or unintentional we're talking
suburbs/city here not the countryside. The use of exposed traps that can cause harm/death to domestics
or wildlife is illegal. On the "innocent" side because people are ignorant, someone may be trying to spring trap rats.
Still illegal and it don't matter if it's on private property or not.

That's a start. I be doing some skulking around on my day off. Maybe follow the squees around a bit and see if you can see anything. It's certainly worth a try...all of the heartache...I'd say go for it!! XO and Good Luck!!!

[TubeDriver]

I will start talking to all my neighbors on my street. I do think that ALL of the injured squirrels come from an area behind my house (different street with the back of our yards touching). I only know the people directly behind my house from the other street but I will mention it to them as well.

I really am wondering. I don't want to be paranoid but now I am wondering......






On a good note, Spaz came back today and got a second dose of Cipro and eat a Wild Bite along with a bunch of almonds. I think his paw looked slightly improved over yesterday. I have known Spaz for 3 years and I always assumed he was born with a congenital deformity. The thought that he survived for 3 years after possibly being injured by a trap as an adolescent/baby makes me angry. My poor Spaz.

Wow TubeDriver,

The squirrels in your neighborhood are lucky to have you watching over them. Hope we get to meet sometime soon. I am not too far from you.

Maybe we should have a Maryland Squirrel friend happy hour meet somewhere? I think there are a dozen or more active members here that live near the DC area.

[Monipenny]

I was thinking the same thing, too odd of a coincident for that many foot injuries. Poor babies, I am glad Spaz came back.

[MollyBear361]

I had thought the same a while back but glad someone noticed. a lot of coincidental issues.....Hope you find the source and Spaz makes a full recovery.

Hey there, how is Spaz doing? I can't hardly look at these pictures without shedding tears, this just breaks my heart. Need to know he is doing alright.

Spaz is doing much better! He looks almost completely back to his old self. His paw is still a little red but the swelling is gone and he is using it to walk/run. I think he will be fine! :D

TubeDriver, just found Spaz's thread, feel bad for this cute little guy and so very glad he has you and your kind wife to take care of him.

He is doing much better. My wife calls me at work and says that he is chasing and bullying the other squirrels but at the same time he is always super gentle when he takes a nut treat from our hands.

That's good news. It alway seems those squirrels with challenges fight very hard and end up being a top squirrel :) with the added benefit that their nicer to their human slaves :)
