This is a rough question, but I have to ask it for a reason: I found a squirrel going flip-flop on the road today and after playing phone tag with several area rehabbers I could not find a single person to take and/or put down this squirrel. His injury looks pretty severe- Clicking, dragging himself, a broken finger (I won't describe it but it's gross) and blood around his nose. I found him around 3 and he was still alive by 7:30 when I had to go to my evening class, where I am now. He's (she's?) in a cat carrier in my car.
What would you do? Any recommended home methods of euthanization? I contemplated using my pellet gun but I'm out of cartridges. I've used helium to euthanize rats at home but you have to rent a tank for that (and if anyone is interested I can make a thread or PM you on how, it is a completely painless procedure and MUCH more friendly to the animal compared to how most vet clinics do it).
If he makes it through to tomarrow I will drop him off at the vet clinic I suppose. If nothing else they should just euthanize him, right? I'll just feel very badly for him until then.
