Our fav squirrel with half a tail showed signs of getting mange around her neck yesterday.. but...
Cute photo. We, too, have a regular squirrel visitor with only half a tail. The kids named ours "Stubby". :-)

@shenay I wish it was! But sadly I think not - she's chewed a bald spot on her leg now (saw it next day, where there was thinning the day before).

@shenay Its awful seeing it isnt it? Nature is wonderful but cruel I guess... hey try this place - its who helped me with the squirrels - they send meds for free. A lot of hard work tho, trying to fix em. http://www.nfws.org.uk/mange/index.htm
