Health officials are examining a squirrel that bit a 3-year-old boy on the finger Friday afternoon, officials say.
The boy was taken by his parents to Children’s Hospital in Centennial after he told them he felt sick from a puncture wound, Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson said in a news release.
A sheriff’s deputy was called to 5500 E. Briarwood Ave. in Arapahoe County at 4:45 p.m. Friday after the injured and dying squirrel bit the child, he said.
Authorities will determine whether the squirrel was infected with any disease, Robinson said.
