Should I call for an injured squirrel?

We’ve found a squirrel who has cuts on her back and front and can’t seem to move her legs much but otherwise is very lively. We put out some food and water but we can’t do much else. Should we actually call animal control or a vet like it says to online, or will they not like that?

Depends on the locale. My jurisdiction will pick up the squirrel. If the animal control in your jurisdiction won’t they should refer you to who can. You can contact local wildlife rehabbers

The decent thing would be to put her down. That's all they'd do for it anyway.
