I personally don't see where veterinarian intervention would be necessary at this time, she just needs to be on an established course.
Please bear in mind, a squirrel is a wild animal. Unless you are otherwise licensed, you are in an illegal State to have possession of a squirrel.
Unless you have or know a vet that will safely see a (wild) squirrel under the "radar" or know a licensed rehabilatator that will use their license
to get you into a vet, a Veterinarian's license by law requires that the wild animal /squirrel is seized and not returned. Some vets work with
rehabilatators that they are turned over to, or they are euthanized according to their State's requirements. If the squirrel is "compromised"
in any way physical or mental, the majority are automatically euthanized.
