It is most likely a staph infection. Staph is everywhere, but stress or an unformed immune system leaves you more open to it.

Go to the drugstore and get a bottle of Betadyne (10% povidone iodine) in the wound care section. If they have a generic, save some money and get that. Mix about 20 drops of the betadyne in 1/4 cup of warm water and use a cotton ball or something similar to wipe the whole area down on your squirrel, then bundle him up and get him back on the heat. Don't rinse. Do that at least twice a day and they will go away in a few days. It doesn't burn or sting or anything bad.
