Urgent: Anyone have an answer to self mutilation?
We rescued a squirrel attacked by multiple cats a year ago. She made a miraculous recovery. Has one bad arm but otherwise was ok. Slowly though she started self mutilating. It's been a long battle. Went from her Stomach to her leg. She is now mutilating her hand. Every time we take away one area she just moves to another. Weve tried vests, wraps, cones and vets have prescribed Gabapentin but nothing has worked.
She almost completely chewed off one of her fingers tonight. I'm sick to my stomach and at my wits end.
I don't want to put her down but I'm just out of answers.
Has anyone had success stopping one of their squirrels from doing this to themselves?
Please share what you did if you have.
