We are going to need more information in order to help you help her.

History... age, diet... or is this a trauma case?

If this is a youngster not on formula or rodent block, start the MBD protocol. Ditto if this is an older captive squirrel not fed rodent block and healthy veggies (nuts, seeds, corn, etc. will cause this paralysis):

If this is a trauma, more info would be helpful... steroids are usually the best course of treatment and can work miracles sometimes. Steroids like prednisone, dexamethasone or methylprenisolone... we can assist with dosage if needed.

PA is a tough state for getting Wildlife treated and I have no contacts in your area. Call family, friends and neighbors. These steroids are used commonly to treat all sorts of things from COPD, poison ivy and all sorts of things. One or two pills is generally all that is needed.
