Well the squirrel that was leaning to one side now has a dislocated back left leg and is also having problems eating. I was wondering if she could be blind in one eye and maybe that's why she is leaning to one side? I realize her leg will never get better sense it's dislocated but can she survive without the use of that leg? She is eating but it takes her a long time to chew.

Any chance you can send photos or video of the squirrel?

Sorry I am probably the only person in America that does not own a cell phone. Any chance there is a wildlife rehabilitator in the area? This squirrel is a fighter but I'm so afraid that a cat or dog might get ahold of him and I'm sure her leg is not going to heal sense it looks dislocated.
