A juvenile red squirrel (Tamiasciurus hudsonicus) was found huddled on an expanse of lawn at a private school in northwestern Connecticut. The squirrel lacked hair over the majority of its body. It was captured and brought to a wildlife rehabilitator. Presented here is a day–by–day account of the treatment and recovery of this animal.
