Poor Fox
One of our regular foxes has the horrible condition of mange, as can be seen from this picture. It still has bright eyes and eats well (we see it daily), but untreated, the condition becomes serious and can cause death. My wife and I hate to see any animal, domestic or wild, suffer but what can you do to help such a creature...?
Well, fortunately you can obtain treatment from the National Fox Welfare Society www.nfws.org.uk/
who supply free treatment (although we have made a donation to them). The treatment supply arrived today. It is put out with food (honey sandwiches are best) which the foxes will eat but cats etc will leave alone. As this fox is one of the first visitors to the Wildlife Cafe each night we hope it will take the treated food and recover. I'll keep you posted and hopefully, in about a month, all will be well. Fingers crossed, eh?
