Sick Fox


From 5 am yesterday this fox was hanging around the garden, acting semi crazy. It seemed desperate for food and drink but couldn't manage the whole brioche we threw out, even though it was so soft. In the end I had to break it into pieces and then it sank down in the middle of it and ate little bits at a time, then collapsed behind the pond. Sarcoptic mange can kill a fox in a matter of months but I have sent for some more of the homoeopathic 'fox drops' that I used with great success on another fox two years ago. I hope they don't arrive too late. Today there is no sign of the sick little vixen at all.

Did you ring your local RSPCA?
