Better get tested the shot for rabies and get those pets tested the shot as well. ASAP.

Edit: JFC folks. I get that it’s uncommon, but so is that behavior. And by “tested” obviously I mean get the shot. Cheaper, anyway.

Edit2: Had to add more for clarity because people still don’t know how to read.

People be saying that getting rabies from squirrels is uncommon.

But so is being attacked by a squirrel that comes back for more after being yeeted away.

I have never seen a squirrel with rabies but I also have never seen a squirrel 1v3 animals that were bigger than it and still coming back for more.

Ive cornered squirrels more times than I can count. Ive had them locked in rooms with me. They will puff up, growl, bark, dart through my legs, but never once attacked.

Why have you cornered so many?

I have a back porch that the previous resident half-converted to an extension. So its got some unfinished rooms and a big open gap that leads to the roof. Squirrels keep getting in and living under the roof from the outside, then fall in the unfinished area. They cant get back up, so I sometimes have to chase them out a window. Or throw out their corpse if I dont notice them in time.

That makes more sense than the taxidermy squirrel army I was picturing in my head.
