I called animal control but got a machine. Tried calling police non-emergency number as suggested but they sent me to wildlife control. Called the number they suggested which is a private company. I don't want to pay to deal with a public health issue

As I thought, the wildlife number is for a company that removes animals from a house. They sent me back to animal control. Maybe our Alder can help- Adam?

I wonder if this is related to the group of dead ducks and swans in West River ?

Try calling the alderperson

Seems like the squirrel has wandered off of was taken by a predator.
Rabies is rare in squirrels but it would be good to hear from our health department if there is a risk to human or pet health from this obviously ill squirrel.

Issue closed.

Thanks for fixing this request!
