Resident finds sick squirrel

Neighborhood mother squirrel ends up in hospital

A Daggett Street neighbor in the 5400 block found a sick squirrel in their yard on Thursday (9/11/13). and brought it to the Long Beach Animal Hospital.

At the hospital, the squirrel was determined to be a female that most likely has babies in a nest because she is lactating .

Squirrels build their nests out of sticks in trees.  Anyone finding the babies (they may fall out) are asked not to feed them, instead call or bring them to the hospital.

The rescue hospital woman's name is Aile.

The Long Beach Animal Hospital is located at 3816 Anaheim St (between Redondo and Termino), the telephone is 562-434-9966.
