- Title Rescued Juvenile Squirrel Infested With Fleas Gets Cleaned By Wildlife Rehabilitator
- Summary A wildlife rehabilitator received a juvenile squirrel, which was infested with one of the worst flea infestations she had ever seen. Karenlynn Stracher is a licensed wildlife rehabilitator in Merrick, Long Island, when she received a juvenile squirrel which was covered in fleas. She attempted to remove the insects by brushing the infested squirrels fur and washing it with dish soap, in an attempt to save its life. Holding the washed squirrel, she showed how pale the squirrel's feet and hand pads were, showcasing the rodent was in need of some tender love. Karenlynn said: “I have been working with wildlife for decades and have never seen anything nearly this bad! “A flea infestation of this magnitude causes dehydration, malnutrition and flea anaemia, so it was a life-threatening situation.”
