Fox & cubs update

Here is a photo of the cub in carrier ready to go off for release.

The conjunctivitis now all cleared up .

He was released this evening back to his family .

The greeting he gave the Dog fox was just amazing and a treat to behold.

Sheila has sent photo of the two cubs who have bonded immediately.

This is the cub with prolapsed bowel and the one we could not find family’s home to release back to and will be released eventually together.

This is the cub who had the prolapsed bowel ready to go to Sheila’s to be with the cub she is looking after at her place now his companion has been released.

He is recovering extremely well.

Foxes thank emergency vets at Walton Lodge and Afrivets !

 

It has been a Foxy week this last week with three cubs arriving and today an adult Fox with a foreign object in between his toes.
Removed and cleaned up by emergency vets this evening.
Antibiotics given along with painkiller and now safely installed in a large crate so we can monitor he is eating well before release on Tuesday back to where he came from.
Two cubs came in last Sunday one with conjunctivitis and the other with a prolapsed bowel.
Now both doing well and hope to release the one with eye problem back to his family.
The other cub arrived Thursday and in spite of attempts to find the place where her family live we had no success with this.
She will be living with another cub until we can soft release them both late August.
Here is a photo of the adult Fox:

The cubs don’t keep still enough for photos but will try to get a couple.
Thank you to the emergency vets based at Walton Lodge who have been marvellous and also Afrivets who have put up with my endless phone calls to them this week for advice!

Arlo

Arlo has a home !!

Arlo arrived today.
He is year old Lurcher and a lovely character.
He has gone to Mick’s place to foster and will post more info on him as he settles down

Paddy (Riley)

Paddy has now found a home !!

Riley is a 14 month old Collie who unusually has a bob tail.
He came from the same place as the Collie puppies and was very kind to them allowing them to sleep in a bundle on top of him and in giving their ears a good wash. Lovely, lovely dog, a little nervous at first of going out on the lead but getting braver all the time.
