I have a squirrel that has had the end of his tail bare for a couple months and it is slowly getting worse. Though I see no signs of mange, he does scratch a lot and goes into "crazy" fits of jumping, twirling, and flipping over which I've read are signs of parasites.
Here is a pic:
Does anyone have advice on whether I should try to treat this (orally or topically)? And if so, any methods more likely to work with a skittish wild squirrel?
Thanks!
