This poor little angel showed up at my backdoor today. I'm having a hard time determining if it's mange or pox. There's one other squirrel I saw today who has the same affliction. I have ivermectin on hand. Opinions? Thank you!

Re: Pox or Mange?
I hate to say this but that looks more like Pox than mange to me.I hope I am wrong.
[edit] I looked at the pics again. In the first photo (head on) the swelling and hair loss on the left side of his head look more like Mange,but the nodules all along the right side of his body look more like Pox.
See my wild squirrel adventures in the thread "Squirtle's yard!":

I think that looks like pox.
A pox squirrel can also have mange so it might be both.
