My cat attacked a young grey squirrel and brung it the house. It doesn’t appear to be full grown, but is fully furred so doesn’t appear super young, either. My mom found the squirrel and said it was seizing (from shock or injury, I don’t know). I breed reptiles, so I always have lots of extra tubs on hand. I set it up in a clean tub and gave it a soft pillow case and a small bowl of water for the night. I put it in an unheated tub since my room is at least 75 degrees and I didn’t want to overhead it, but I can move it to a heated tub if needed. The heated tubs have a hot side of 90 degrees.
At the moment, I am leaving it alone and trying to make it comfortable. I am waiting to see if it makes it through the night before doing anything else. I did not see any blood on the squirrel, but I know it could have internal injuries. If it makes it through the night, I’d like advice on what to do. I am in Gallipolis, Ohio and do not know of any rehabilitators near me. I am willing to take care of it. I have experience with bottle feeding premature chihuahua puppies who’s mom refused to care for them.
