My Mr. Hammie fell off my fridge and my fridge is pretty high. He was on my form plates when they shifted and he landed right to his face. He started bleeding out of his nose after the impact. I did clean him up and gave him some ice cream and yogurt. I put a hot pack then a cold pack on it. After a few hour

What approximate age is this squirrel?
I would examine his teeth, both top and bottom incisors to see if any damage has occurred to them.
I assume he's either favoring or not using his arm for you to question if it's broken?
If you lightly pinch his toe on that arm's foot do you get a reaction?
Either way, sprain, broken, or just sore from impact he could benefit from a pain med /anti-inflammatory.
In lieu of a pain medication he can be given infant liquid ibuprofen to help with this. We would need a weight
to properly dose as all meds for squirrels are dosed by body weight. You will need a 1cc (needle less) syringe
to dose the med. Many drug stores will give you one if you tell them you are having to nurse a baby kitten.
