    Question Need advice on rehabbing an injured squirrel

    3 days ago we found a squirrel. Apparently he was hit by a car and couldn't move. We took him home. I didn't take him to a Wild life rescue - they would euthanize him for sure. Two days he spent in a coma. I was feeding him from syringe and giving some water. Today he woke up and is in panic mode because he discovered that he is not in his natural habitat, but in our house. I am not able to put any food or drink into his mouth. He is still having trouble moving around - he is mostly crawling and gets tired quickly and just lies down.
    Question: how to feed him now if he is in panic mode every time I try to put some food in his mouth? Any advice will help. Thank you

    how old is the squirrel ?? Baby or Adult ??

    Can you take pictures and post here ?? How about a video posted to youtube or somewhere and post link here ??

    What type of injuries does squirrel have ??

    What have you been feeding him ??

    WARNING - a panic squirrel will bite as defense and can cause significant injury. Be very careful. What container is squirrel in now ?? Be careful opening it as he may just escape into your house. Open only in closed off room or garage.
