SSRS have had a reported sighting of a sick squirrel in Bridge of Allan, and have initiated a plan to endeavour to find out more information to determine what the illness was, and hopefully to eliminate squirrelpox.

Please help us with this by following the requests as detailed on this poster.

Primarily

Take in ALL wildlife feeders for 3 weeks.

Disinfect all feeders before restarting their use – Ideally use an antiviral such as Virkon S.

If you see a sick squirrel report it on the SSRS website and try and get a picture.

If you find a dead red squirrel post it using the proper procedure to the Royal Dick in Edinburgh where we can conduct a proper post mortem.

Call SSPCA if you spot a sick squirrel.

All the details are on this poster “Sick Red Squirrels Alert”
