If only the surface bark is stripped, it will heal itself. If the damage is into the first layer of wood you may need to bandage it similar to a human wound. Wrap the area with a cloth and tape it up. Even if the bark is damaged all the way around the branch, it will still heal in time. If the first layer of wood is removed all the way around for more than an inch or so the branch is better removed. I just recently learned too that if the wound is deep and bleeding (sap coming out) you can use spray paint on the wound. It is similar to humans using super glue as a band aid and will eventually fade or be overgrown with new bark. Insects and animals also avoid the area. Try using repellent to rid yourself of the squirrels, avoid any animal urine, those have not been garanteed to work. Using chicken fence around the base of the tree can also help the tree.

Why did some Native Americans chew willow tree bark?
Willow tree bark is the source of the active ingredient in Aspirin, acetylsalicylic acid (ASA). As a remedy for pain, Native Americans had chewed on the bark to help alleviate the same general pains that we may take aspirin for now. Though I am unsure of the concentration of ASA in a "chewable mouthful" of tree bark, it is likely not as potent as a single tablet of Aspirin. Looks like the shamen/medicine men knew what they were talking about!
