:tapHelp, I don’t know what to do, he looks like he’s dying and I can’t find any rehab or vet open, what do I do to help him?????? He’s in fetal position rocking back and forth. I don’t see any wounds. I’m feeling like he got into some sort of poison or something! I’m hysterical and feel so helpless!!!!!

Can you put a short video of his behavior on youtube etc. then post the link here for members to see?
Any more info may help as well.
Where did you find him?
How did you pick him up?
He may be an older baby and be dehydrated or starving.
Can you post a picture? A whole body next to a coke can etc. for evaluation.
Keep checking back here!
Thank you for helping this baby!

We have a member that can help you. He is not that close to you but he can put you in contact with a rehabber that IS close. She is about 29miles from you in Kirkland, WA. I don’t know her contact information but Squirrel Refuge will be able to connect you. He is in Portland which is pretty far from you (3 hrs).

Most importantly, follow the previous advice. Contact, https://squirrelrefuge.org/
Only if possible, also keep an eye on him, and maybe* put out some water such as in a pet dish not so close that it scares him, but close enough that he might find it ("The solution to pollution is dilution." Sometimes.).
*Order of priority IMO, 1. Contacting Squirrel Refuge/Monitoring him, 2. Making and sending us a video, 3. Everything else. I am not a rehabber, so feel free to correct me.

Maybe try Sarvey Wildlife or Footprints Wildlife Rehabilitation Center? Can anyone vouch for them?

When it comes to squirrels, I would try calling anonymously and ask if they would definitely do their best to help and ensure that they value squirrels.
I make sure they have squirrels on their website and I like to call ahead. Squirrel Refuge is the best, IMO, but if no answer:

Again, I am not a rehabber. Feel free to correct me.

Ugh! I am just now seeing this! I so hope this one got help. In an emergency, call me immediately. IR, Sammysmom, and Spanky all have my number. I will also share it in Triage. :grin2
