Saving a Sick Squirrel


Occurred on September 4, 2020 / Valencia, Spain

Info from Licensor: Last Friday, I was helping out my Mum in our garden when I saw a squirrel having some sort of attack. I started recording what was happening to her just in case it could be helpful. I immediately went to grab some paper and a box to hold her and put her in a more comfortable and safe place ( I also called my sister for help). When I came back she was not conscious and barely breathing so I searched on the internet what to do and I found that giving her water with sugar was good for her. After feeding her with a syringe she started to recover and gain consciousness, she started moving and eating by herself some figs and bananas we gave her. At the end, because she was still very weak we put her on a cage so she could be safe and rest for the night without being bothered by other animals like cats. The next morning we released her back in to the wild and she climbed a tree.
