About 6 months ago our neighbors dog attacked a little squirrel, thankfully it didn't kill the poor thing. We ended up keeping it in a box wrapped in a towel for a few hours before taking it to the emergency vet. Little guy had a bloody nose.

Anyhow, it was VERY calm. The em. vet basically said it wasn't going to live and that it was in shock, but they could keep it overnight and give it fluids. I asked what they would do if it lived through the night and they said that when it was better, they would open the front door and let it free.

*forehead smack*

They are located in the middle of a busy intersection. Idiots.

I declined and took the little squirt home. Put him in a wire cage. Watered him from a syringe and fed him veggies for 3 days all while he stayed curled in a ball. Woke up on the 4th day and he was clinging to the side! Let him go and have never seen him since!
