Default RE: warbles

a warble is a botfly larva, the fly lands on the squirrel and bites it, laying the egg between the skin and the muscle. as the warble grows a large mound appears. when the warble reaches maturity it breaks the skin and comes out. they are common on rabbits also here's a picture of one.
