Hello everyone,
I rescued a squirrel a couple of years back and released her to the wild about a year ago. She often comes back for food and comfort, as she has a really big enclosed space in our backyard where she is safe.
Yesterday she came back and looks like her two back legs are broken, or she might be paralyzed, we are not sure.
We call a Wild life rehab center, who referred me to a veterinarian. They will accept her but they say they can't give her back to me, they are going to give it to a local rehabber, and not even contact us.
I'm trying to contact a local rehabber but can't seem to find any here in Orlando, do any of you know how to find one? Maybe he can take it to the vet and get it back and we can release her back to what she knows. I don't want them to release her just anywhere, she might feel lost, she's very use to coming back home to rest and good food.
What should I do?
