While over at Memaw's house, Poppi discovered this adorable baby squirrel on the back patio. Thank goodness we found him before "Scuba" that cat did! It fell from a nest approximately 70 ft above the patio-OUCH!!! We assumed the puddle around the squirrel is urine, since no external wounds were visible. Our minds were morally boggled on what we should do. Do we relocate the squirrel and let nature handle the issue? Do we try to feed him and see if the mom returns? Call wildlife rescue? Poppi suggested we try the baby formula I had over at Memaw's house. I mixed up an ounce of formula and Dave fed the squirrel from a medicine dropper. The baby swallowed a tiny bit and then we placed him outside in an open box. Who would think about being in a moral dilemma over a squirrel? Babies get ya all the time!!!
When Aubs arrived at Memaw's she was anxious to see the lil' squirrel. She wanted to help him- the squirrel needed a doctor! Seth called up wildlife rescue and Poppi & Aubrey took a trip to the squirrel doctor. This was a great experience for Miss Aubrey and she continues to talk all about it. I doubt we will be called with an update but hopefully he is doing well!
