Confused wee creature (3)
I believe the answer is:
ewe
'creature' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'confused wee' is the wordplay.
'confused' is an anagram indicator.
'wee' anagrammed gives 'EWE'.
(Other definitions for ewe that I've seen before include "A palindromic sheep" , "Source of milk" , "One looking sheepish" , "She'll provide material to knit" , "21a [SHEEP]" .)
