What to do with a dying baby squirrel?

There's this tiny squirrel lying on the side of my house, presumably dying, what should I do to help it?What to do with a dying baby squirrel?
Don't go near it! There are several diseases, including potentially fatal ones--like rabies--that you can get from a sick squirrel. Keep your pets inside (so they don't get contaminated) and call animal control immediately. Because it poses a health risk, they should come and get it.





I love animals too, but please do not jeopardize your health over this. You don't know what is making the squirrel sick, and without that information it's just too risky.What to do with a dying baby squirrel?
you could call animal control. I would want to help it too, but unfortunately i don't think there's really much else you can do. Picking it up isn't the best idea either, because you dont know if it has rabies or some kind of disease or not, since it is a wild animal. i dont know what else to tell you, but i do hope that it ends up not being dead and it gets better. You should also make sure your pets are inside the house, because you dont want them to get any diseases from the squirrel if they bit it.
is your area rabies alerted, if not gloves, doubled if disposable ,box warmth and water via pipette. and call wildlife whatever
take to vet
