Re: Wild squirrel with puncture wound
Hard to tell what could have caused that without examination.
It looks "new" but not fresh, no signs of bleeding. It appears she's able
to use that arm/shoulder well and that's good. Whatever caused the
puncture must not have gone too deep as to interfere with muscle, also
a good thing.
It likely wouldn't hurt to give a short course of ab to ward off infection and
promote healing but if it were my wild I'd allow her to continue healing on her
own but also keep an eye on her in case intervention would be necessary.
