| Mar 18, 2022 at 19:20 | comment | added | Allerleirauh | Maybe it would also be a smart thought to split it into the three questions: How to handle wounds? How to handle maybe broken bones? How to handle inner injuries? All with the further plan to see a vet, but to get the animal even to the vet... | |

| Mar 4, 2022 at 19:48 | comment | added | Elmy Mod | @FranckDernoncourt May I suggest editing your question and concentrating on exactly those questions? As it is, your question contains too little information for us to give any meaningful answer, but asking for specific first aid measures could be general enough to apply to pets as well as wild animals. (Personally I still think your chances of getting a satisfactory answer are low.) You should still be able to edit your question (though only once), which automatically adds it to the reopen queue. | |
| Mar 4, 2022 at 19:37 | comment | added | Franck Dernoncourt | I was hoping an answer would contain the basics such as: to what extent should we try to feed and find water to the animal? Should we try to bandage or do anything else if any wound? Should we immobilize any part we suspect is broken? How can we check for internal trauma? Etc. In the first sentence, they have a tree in their garden where the squirrels have their nest. | |

| Mar 4, 2022 at 19:22 | comment | added | Elmy Mod | To be honest, even if I reopen your question the only viable answer is probably "go see a vet". There really isn't much else to do. We cannot give you any reasonable self-help advice without examining the animal, which is another close reason BTW. Also the very first sentence of your question reads very much like this was a wild animal. | |
| Mar 4, 2022 at 19:01 | comment | added | Franck Dernoncourt | Thanks, the parents were bred and sold as pets, and a baby squirrel is docile enough to be considered a pet. Could you please reopen the question since it fits your criteria? | |
