It was emaciated & very poorly. MOTH called the Wildlife Rescue folk who came, but it was too late for treatment. The took it back to their HQ where a volunteer Vet euthanised it humanely. I do hope you are able to help Mr. Fox dear Rosemary.<br />Millie xMilliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15408461724832141163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823162730236792476.post-8963117332690394572011-05-12T08:44:18.951-04:002011-05-12T08:44:18.951-04:00Ro,

He is very thin and his coat appears unhealthy. I have seen what I believe to be the same fox in the past and he was bushy and heavier. Very sad for these wild animals. I suppose one could explain it as "survival of the fittest"?teaorwinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17569214378018984731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823162730236792476.post-82581114607763944732011-05-09T13:30:55.315-04:002011-05-09T13:30:55.315-04:00he does have mange and YOU can help him.

It will only get worse and they will die. That they do suffer. I felt so bad.It is so sad but it happens. I should have become a vet.<br />~Debra xxx<br />Capers of the vintage vixens<br />Capers of the vintage vixenswww.MaisonStGermain.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03916957841730565226noreply@blogger.com
