Probably had a tumour. If they want to mix with humans there must be something wrong in the brains/perception department.

Hence the vets euthanised it.
I had a search and found rabies in squirrels (rodents generally) is very rare.

After some reading, there are plenty of diseases, some rare
Various Roundworms, viral encephalitis or rabies might fit the symptoms.
Also available, leprosy(!), leptospirosis, Salmonellosis etc.
Dirty little bastards.

I thought this animal was put down because it's illegal to release grey squirrels back to the wild
Even without tumours or rabies they can attack when fed by humans www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2017/06/when-squirrels-attack/531129/

At the end of the article,
"Stripe appeared to have been given a reprieve when, later, the RSPCA stepped in to say it would take the pesky critter.
But when the animal charity’s vets examined him, he was euthanised."
Yes, feeding wildlife is rarely a good idea.

I suggest that
it was fed by several neighbors. I did the Disney thing with a squirrel that would run across the street to get some peanuts that I would drop. One day, it jumped from the shrub and ran down my arm to bite into my finger after I had just dropped the peanuts.
The health center checked on rabies transmission via squirrel. The advice was that rabies puts squirrel metabolism in too a lethargic state to transmit the disease.
Conclusion: Tetanus booster and increased vigilance for a fast run inside.
