bite on squirrel....not sure what it is...

[seahorse]

Hello, Not sure if I uploaded picture correctly....My Rozey who is now wild and free came with this wound today. I can't tell if it's a cat bite or a squirrel bite, it looks kind of small to be a cat bite and I have also seen her being chased by other squirrels quite a bit in this area. She will not let me hold her anymore....this is the best picture I could get. My mentor couldn't tell she said if it was a cat bite she would need antibiotics but if it's a squirrel bite it should be ok and just keep an eye on it. Thank you in advance.

she seems ok by the way, not really hindered by it. There was one time when she climbed onto the container pictured here where it seemed like her arm was a little sore but a few other attempts were made normally.

Can't be sure either, but I would think that if it was a cat bite there would be other marks. I would say looks more like a squirrel bite and I'd ust keep my eyes open for any sign of trouble.

Thank you so much! I will do that! It makes me feel better to have someone with experience to just reaffirm what I thought. I'm sorry about your babies, your tribute to them at the end of your message made me cry. They really are magical little creatures who change your life forever.

Might want to have ab's on hand just in case it gets worse. Doesn't look inflamed to me.

FYI. In case they are needed , some human ab's can be used if you or a friend or family member may have a pill or two left over.

If so be sure to list strength, squirrels weight here so it can be properly dosed.

The last time I was able to weigh her she was 504 grams, that was about a month ago....she's been eating great and seems to have gained weight. I've tried to weigh her since (many attempts in many different weighs) she was having none of it.
