My 11 year old golden, Buck loves to chase and catch squirrels and has killed a few. But one fiesty little female really nailed him hard on the lip. He had about 4 bites, the worst one right thru his lip. I thought he had killed her, as she was just laying on the ground. I got him in and went back to her and i could see she was really breathing hard--and could tell she was nursing babies. She laid there for about 5 minutes, then got up and ran up the tree. I saw no blood on her at all, so i do not think she was injured, just stressed and bushed.
I was very worried, but my vet said he didn't know of any cases of squirrels having rabies, and Buck was up to date on all shots. This happened last Spring.
