Would a rabid squirrel be able to climb up a tree?

Theoretically if it did have rabies, it could still climb a tree until neurological impairement was to severe. However it is highly unlikely that a squirrel has rabies tough not impossible, as all mammals are capable of being a rabies vector. Scary tought: there are documented reports of rabid chipmunks/ rats and mice tough I cant remember of any squirrel cases ! But these are all very rare cases.

First i think of you may desire to take your 5 year previous to the physician. A rabid squirrel bit her...you do no longer understand if she has rabies. 2nd seize the squirrel and launch someplace way a ways from abode or maybe have some pest administration look after it...

squirrels are very unlikely to carry rabies, if they were bitten by an animal with rabies...it would presumably be larger than they are and the squirrel would most likely die in the attack. It would not live long enough to be a threat to pass it along to any other animal.
