Hi I have a male Fox Squirrel he is about 6 years old. I noticed a few weeks ago he had what looked like a scratch under his left arm with slight scabbing. I have been using diluted Povdine Iodine to prevent infection. It looked like it was getting better. But today He started chewing and biting on it. It is now bleeding a little & slight swollen.I called a wildlife rehabber they told me to try triple antibiotic salve. I just got that to try. Does anyone have any idea why he would chewing on it and licking at it & how to prevent him chewing it or biting so that it can heal? I cant take him to a vet or rehabber to get him looked at because in my state of Ohio its not legal to have a squirrel, they would take him away from me. If anyone has any suggestions please email me.
Thanks
Thanks
