Tragedy here... Pippin has wounded a squirrel. Heh. It was only a matter of time. We're out of seeds, so the squirrels were down on the ground looking for leftovers.

I didn't see any open wounds but he's got something neurologically wrong. He can move, he kicked and such when I picked him up, but isn't moving now. I put him in a cat carrier to rest, he'll either die or recover.

I'd take pictures, but I'm trying to leave him quiet... Don't want to stree him any more.

Poor little trusting squirrel. Maybe he'll shake it off. Don't get bit. I assume Pippin up to date on his rabies?

Bummer about the squirrel! I'll bet Pippin bit him in the neck or the back and damaged his spinal cord. If he doesn't recover but doesn't die, you might have to dispatch him yourself, or get ecurbh to do it. Not fun!
