    Well, so far so good! I have been putting the Neosporin on it and it seems to be healing ok so far!

    I will just keep an eye on it, and worse comes to worse, I will have to get a transfusion from Crazysquirrellady Lol!! I am sure that would be far more potent than any tetnus shot .

    You guys are absolutely the best!!! Thanks for the reassurances...

    Thank you. Cute little critter got in the house, and I am trying to get it out and away from two cats and a dog. My goodness they are strong. At this point I will wait for my son to get home. I peroxided it, put a drawing salve on it (2 punctures that I made bleed) and bandaged it.

    What are the punctures from? If it is the cat, it will require treatment with antibiotics. Cat bites (and scratches) are lethal to squirrels...
