Help! Injured front paw
This adult male squirrel that I see everyday in my neighborhood appeared with his front paw injured about a week ago. He eats fine and moves around but can't put weight on the injured paw. He still climbs the trees up and down pretty well. I gave him nuts covered with peanut butter mixed with baytril for 5 days. This is how his paw looks as of now. A wildlife rehabber I've been in contact with told me that if I can trap him and bring him to her, she will take him in and do what she can do to treat him and put him back to the wild. I have a trap that will be delivered today but I am afraid if the trapping process would be too stressful to him and he might hurt himself trying to escape. Please let me know what would be the best course of action to take in this case.
