Answer 1

Your mom needs to get you to the ER. I heard squirrels have rabies. I don't know if this is true or not though.

Answer 2

YA! YOU NEED TO SEE A DR. SQUIRRELS ARENT FRIENDLY AND SHOULDNT HAVE EVEN LET YOU NEAR IT, BUT IT DID,AND THAT IS ONE OF THE SIGNS AN ANIMAL HAS RABIES....I'D GO TO THE ER IF I WERE YOU.

Answer 3

Yea go to a doctor. You could get a disease.

Crazy Squirrel.  I'm sorry AI know you being bit is not funny but just deep in my stomach is haha.. A squirrel, That sux

Answer 4

Tell your parents.  Contrary to popular belief, squirrels are not usually carriers of rabies, but squirrel bites can cause tetanus.  At least find out from your mom when your last tetanus shot was!

Answer 5

man, a lion would be freaky but a squirrel!???!?!??! examine it yourself. if it grows really red and itchy, go to the doctor.

Answer 6

why are you freaking out???  if its just the bite you are worried about dont be. just give it a good clean out with peroxide or some other antiseptic and cover with banndage to keep out germs. if infection does start then go see a doc. you will notice puffy redness around the bite marks. if not all is good.

but if your in a rabies country and you think for some reason it may have rabies then you need to sit a course of needles that are very expensive. as both my partner and i got bite by a fox we saved and ended up with about 20 injections aver the course of 2 weeks i think it was. not fun but better than getting rabies.

thank goodness i live in australia now, so no worried about any rabies :P

Answer 7

wild animals carry diseases you should at least call a doctor on call and see what he recommends. I'm thinking you'll some shots.

Answer 8

Go to the emergency room because this is a serious matter. Don't be afraid. There not going to give a shot unless they have to. Just go to the emergency room and tell the doctor what happened. I'm sure he/she will be happy to help you.
