That squirrel sounds rabid, but I don't think a squirrel could live with the furious phase of rabies for 2 weeks. I am not 100% positive of that, though. Maybe he has a brain tumor. Such unusual behavior for a squirrel.
Agree with Lori. Wow, that is a scary story. We feed the squirrels around here, and they are really peaceful. Story reminds me of some freaky horror movie...

Stephen King should study that squirrel for his next book.
I have seen a couple squirrels go at it on my front porch, what surprised me was how vicious they were to each other. They were both bloodied up when they finally left, still squawking leaving a bloody trail in the snow. I like them anyway just hope to not run into a berserk squirrel like the one in the story.

According to the CDC: Small mammals such as squirrels, rats, mice, hamsters, guinea pigs, gerbils, chipmunks, rabbits, and hares are almost never found to be infected with rabies and have not been known to cause rabies among humans in the United States. Bites by these animals are usually not considered a risk of rabies unless the animal was sick or behaving in any unusual manner and rabies is widespread in your area. They could be wrong!
