After calling animal control, the police station, wildlife control, animal control once again and then the board of health, the squirrel was removed from my porch and sent for testing. I went to urgent care who simply told me "rabies in rodents is very rare" but if the tests come back positive for rabies Then come back.
So I asked like what if it tested positive for other shit and they said they don't worry about any of that. Didn't give me no shot or anything at all. They literally sent me home 
I should be getting the test results back for the squirrel tomorrow I think. Idk if the squirrel is still alive or they put him down or not.
My finger hurts less everyday I'm just happy the squirrel was taken care of.

Treating Rabies when symptoms have appeared, is almost always fatal, so far only a couple of cases of recovery have been documented to patients where symptoms have displayed.
Edit: Fixed where I said untreated rabies is "almost always fatal", corrected to state "always fatal"
