OP I saw your post in r/squirrels and I also live in Philadelphia. If you can get her in a cage (you can buy humane trapping cages called HavaHeart on Amazon) and take her to the Schuylkill Center Wildlife Clinic, they should be able to help!

It's about a 25 minute drive from Center City. It's kind of off the beaten path but a GPS can get you there.

This injury is a very survivable one with human assistance for a squirrel. But you need to get her there ASAP because the wound could easily get infected or become gangrenous which would likely lead to her death.

I used to work at a bar at 40th and Walnut. It's a weird fucking area in terms of clientele. You have: entitled Penn students, who may be from rich families but who are themselves cheap and don't know how to tip or behave; people from the section 8 / public housing a few blocks away who can also be shitty; professionals, mostly who work for Penn. The first two of these groups fucking suck from a service industry perspective. They are demanding, cheap, and can be disruptive.

I don't think that area can consistently support anything other than fast food and fast casual when the two largest groups of customers are like this. Especially when there's such a large number of competitors - there are a ridiculous number of storefronts and vendors serving food in U city.

That McDonald's was always the most consistent place in the area, and it hosted a large number of drunken fights for years while being possibly the most disgusting, awful food service establishment I've ever seen.

I know that about 54% of adults in this great country have their literacy below sixth-grade level, but I implore you to re-read my original comment (and re-re-re-re-re-re-read if you need to, take your time).

(The English is only my fourth or so language, but I don't think the way I put it would make it complicated to connect the dots or to understand what I was saying).
