Ah, that is really nice. I had a bad experience with a squirrel so for some reason I think they are dangerous, lol. I once fed on a potato chip and it held my fingers as it ate the potato chip, needless to say their nails are like razor blades and just holding my fingers cut me up. I wouldn’t pull away cause I would have been really screwed up, lol. Cyber therapy I feel better now.

to see one of those removed from a living squirrel is quite a treat. I had 3 wild baby rabbits once that caused my cats grief. They wondered why they weren’t allowed in the box with them…..

i don’t think that is a botfly larvae, it has no circle of barbs, and it’s transparent, a fly, but not bot, anyway, I thought bots were found in central america.

I love when people know what they are doing…….more so with animals that can´t reach help for themselves….Bless this woman that seems to be a rescuer……..the world needs many more like her…
there used to be a video with a man taking botflies from little birdies but now I can´t find it…anyone knows if it´s still here?

God bless this woman! I love animals, but admit I would be hesitant to tackle this job on an awake, cute but wild little creature with teeth. What a little cutie that baby is….the squirrel, not the larva.

I knew there must be others that refered to those things s warbles!! Yes what a sweet baby! how does one locate an infant squirrel? I have never seen one on the ground that wasn’t able to run away at hyperspeed! I have raised baby birds that I have found on the ground.
Like you Chrisa, 6 bittys through the years 3were able to fly away and 3 didn’t make it. I haven’t stopped either. A partial chance is better than none at all! No chance would be the alternative if people chose to ignore them

Ahhh, that squirrel was so cute! That looks like a cuterebra that my vet tech friend brought home. (She’s gross like me and keeps nasty tumors and such from surgeries. Not a giant collection, just a couple samples of gross! lol) The cuterebra was just as big as that and came out of a 6 week old kitten.

I like people who help little critters too. So awesome!

I love squirrels…have all kinds of feeders set up on my property for them.

Poor little baby.

How cute. My wife and I have had at least 3-4 generations of squirrels on our property that tamed up; one even waited for her to come home from work and here she comes running, jumps over to a brick post by the door and waits for her goodie – lucious pecans, little grey-bums.

Chrisa, you are such a tender heart like many other animal lovers who visit this site…WHO LIKE GROOSSSS JUICY PUSSSSSS BOTS WARBLES MAGGOTS AAARRRRRR ARRRRRRRRRRRR EEEAAAAUUUUU
