I am giving this guy my bird food, sunflower seeds and shelled peanuts on the ground. I noticed a patchy squirrel like a week ago and now he looks pretty bad.
I saw the baby squirrels grow up around my front yard this year and I would rather not let this guy die. I think he's one of the new generation this year.
His coordination is kind of wonky, he's moving funny and his motor functions are NOT 100%. He's moving slow and awkwardly and seems like he's having issues beyond hair loss.
A quick search says maybe fungal, not seeing scabbing of mange. But that also said it's common in late winter / early spring.
And this is American Midwest, so this little dude gonna be cold in a month or two if he loses too much hair.
I am going to upload images later if I can, it says I can't upload attachments. He's lost like 30-40% of hair in the "licking/biting zone" so not on his face. Fleas maybe???
