Wobbles the Squirrel

This is Wobbles so named for her condition: she wobbles and tips over a lot. I'm not sure if she's also blind in her left eye, as well. I am sure she must have an ear problem which affects her balance or maybe has a concussion or something. Poor thing. She seems to get along okay. She finds food and eats it like any other squirrel. It's just that she leans over a lot to one side, wobbles, and usually catches herself but sometimes flops over. At one point she just laid on her side and ate that way. Whatever works, I suppose.

Yes, she can climb fairly well but she doesn't perch on limbs or fence tops. Linda and I keep an eye out for her and makes sure she gets enough to eat.
