He is 8 months old.. he was someones pet they did not want anymore.. I have taken in over a dozen raccoons no longer wanted by their owners and released them.. after having to stay here and "wild up" for over 6 months

  vets are not allowed to actually charge you for a wild animal you bring in.

  I know the original post is old.. so this... to the vet.. or they may.. but get a reasonable discount.. some rehabbers can even fix the break. Just depends....

  Groomers Comment

  I am an animal groomer... If the owner is an elderly person.. then I do go to their house... or some of them just want... pick up their dog/cat and then bring them back when i am done.. which isnt a big deal at all. I enjoy helping them.

  squirrels rarely make good pets... they love to chew.. and they have to chew to keep their teeth worn down. Squirrels... fall from the nest... and they would make a better pet.. check w/ your state laws.. and your local wildlife rehaber....
