I was in the yard of an old place of residence. One of the squirrels happened to have made its legs useless, presumably from a fall. As one can see, I recorded it trying to run from me (and failing; don't worry, I just startled it and didn't do anything to it) as I stepped out of the backyard door. What would you advise?

I feel that. Poor little thing needs a little wheelchair and stair lift for it's tree.
