Default field dressed squirrel problem

Hi all. i used to wait til the end of the hunt and then clean all the squirrels. well, today i tried something different.I field dressed the squirrel within 10 minutes of harvesting it. i decided to drop the squirrel off at the truck and go back for more (got no more). when i dropped off the squirrel i put it in a plastic zip-lock and put it in a cooler. problem is there was no ice in the cooler. the squirrel just sat in there, in the bag, for another 3 hours. the temps never got higher than 50 degrees during that time.my question is, is the squirrel OK? Or do i have something to worry about, like bacteria or bad squirrel meat?
