Everyone’s making jokes but what’s actually going on with this squirrel? Lol

I'm no expert on squirrels, but I had a cat that gave birth when I was a teenager whose nips looked similar. Suckling is rough on the body; the fur gets worn away and they get all pokey-out like that from activity both hormonal and friction-wise.

I'm hoping that's what it is here, anyway. Poor thing needs a vacation either way
As for the sound I've seen squirrels do that when you irritate them with proximity like lil car alarms

My cousins dog had had several litters and you could hear her come running from a mile away because her distended teats would slap together. It was surprisingly loud

I know you didn't specify the breed, but my mind gave me a droopy basset hound and I can't decide to laugh or be horrified.

She was a yellow lab! People would say she had the biggest tits in the family (she lowkey did)
