My daughters bought home a baby squirrel after the storm yesterday the tree it was in fell .I have nursed it though the night but really dont know if it will survive .It has not got any fur yet and its eyes are shut it isnt taking much milk hopefully it is enough to keep its strength up.I get very attached to babies like this even though most dont survive I do what I can to give it its best shot .I have a very good wildlife rehabber who helps me do it right.My daughers named it sqweak

I know it's on the other coast, but you can contact Coast & Canyon Wildlife Rehabilitation in Malibu, California. They rescue baby squirrels all the time. (I watch their on-line camera.)
Thank you for rescuing the little "tree rat".

Aw, poor little baby. You are doing a wonderful thing and all you can do is the best you can. Sometimes nature has to take its course and if it is meant to be, it will be. My mother rescued one one time (not quite that young but young) and it did very well.
Best of luck and keep us informed of his/her progress.
