Emergency in Atlanta GA

[Sahreeb]

We have an injured squirrel in Atlanta Georgia that is moving in circles and appears to have a scab over Its eye. I don’t know if it fell from a tree or is sick but it clearly needs medical help. If there is anyone in the Atlanta area who can help a wild gray squirrel please contact me as soon as possible.

Also I was told to mention that Duckman sent me.

I hope someone comes on soon to answer. I don't know of anyone in that area. I am praying for this dear angel to find help. Thankfully he/she has you to care and lend a helping hand. God bless you. Thank you for being there and opening your heart. I just had to come on to show support.

No answer at phone number. Left message with my number. Will try to network this finder with my Atlanta group if they call me back.
I am north of Atlanta, know several rehabbers around the city, and know a safe vet.

Spoke with finder.
It appears to be an adult, with an injury to the head and possibly one eye.
It has been crawling in circles in their driveway for three hours, so my primary concern is that it will stress itself to death.
I had them contain it in a towel, and move it into a cat carrier, and cover the carrier. It settled down after a while.
At this point we are waiting to see if it survives the night, and I will either get someone more local to pickup, or drive down myself (they are 75 minutes from me).

Our little friend made it through the night. He’s still in a carrier on our porch. Thank you all for your help. Now we just need to figure out where best to get it care.

I have talked to finder, and have arranged to go pick it up after my morning feedings.

Clavamox is scheduled to arrive tomorrow (Tuesday).

Squirrel passed away at 10pm. Based on inspection of the cat bites and other wounds (not recent).. it was probably bit several days before it was found. By the time it was found on the ground it was already too far gone to save.

Awww... so sorry little girl. Thank you Javarat for going the extra mile to give this girl a chance.
