The comments are great. I've watched this group and commented very little. They seem to love coyotes and find them sacred. Then someone comes along and suggests shooting it and I make popcorn.

This squirrel was identified with multiple ailments, but most seemed to concur it has mange. The people suggesting ways to help it were just. . . .special. "Catch it and rub some coconut oil on it." "Get some ivermectin and put a bit on some peanuts below it's tree." Nobody suggested putting it down. Multiple people suggesting to catch it and take it to a nature preserve. Others stating "don't do that or they will euthanize it." I get it. I like coyotes and squirrels and fox, and deer. They all have their place. The people on this group place them above humans though. Amusing.

I guess Mother Nature will take care of it this winter….
