My first thought was ant bites but you said it developed over night.
How long have you had the little guy?

If not ant bites it is probably a pyoderma ( infection like a Staph infection ) . You can wipe the chest with a dilute Betadine solution and let it dry. In the mean time you might want to look for antibiotics that you have left over just in case.

I know pictures can be deceiving - you're not holding him dangling by his head - right?

This is the formula you want to use until 4 weeks then switch to Fox Valley 20/50 gradually.

I agree -- looks like pyoderma. Very common in baby squirrels....Betadine works well. :great
