HELP. found injured squirrel - seizures

[hapaguy]

We came across a juvenile squirrel on the sidewalk near our house that wasn't moving, didn't react to us being right beside him, and then started shaking in place. He was in an area with a lot of dogs and cars, so we brought him home and will hopefully be transferring to Toronto Wildlife in the morning. In the meantime, please advise on what to do. He's having what look like seizures and oscillates between having no energy, lying in place and trying to move but shaking uncontrollably. I don't know what other information to include here, but if there's anyone on here who can help us just get him through the night as comfortably as possible for him, I'd really appreciate it. Thank you! Right now he's in our bathtub, lined with towels. We had him in a plastic box with some fleece, but he got out of it. I don't think he has the strength to get out of the bathtub. He looks young, but not a baby. This video shows his current condition, with the shakes: https://youtube.com/shorts/2wrkB8O6b7M?feature=share

How is the squirrel doing 🙏
Keeping him warm and quiet would be a good thing.

sadly, the poor thing died about an hour after posting this. she was in so much pain, twisting and convulsing, it was awful to see. i tried deleting this thread, but couldn't figure out how to do it. thank you to those who responded. we kept her as warm and comfortable as we could, but i don't think there was anything else we could have done. 😢

Very sorry to hear this update. Thank you for caring and taking her inside to safety and comfort. Her video was heartbreaking to watch. I'm not sure there was anything that could be done to save her. Sometimes its better to let go and be free of pain.

Thank you again for trying.

Thank you for giving her a warm place to pass over to the rainbow bridge 🌈 and not left lying outside where worse things could have happened, she knew she was safe.
God Speed little one 🙏🌈
