Everything is Permuted

Tales of a South Downs fox... and other ramblings

Late night success

,

Well you could set your clock by him. Just after 1.20am the old fox popped into the garden. This time I managed to get to the back door before he disappeared. So he's now had three does of ivermectin over a four week period. Ideally I'd like to get one more dose in him.

As for his condition, it's no worse than before. The tail is still down near the bone in places and much of his rump is bare. The upper body looks reasonably healthy though so there hasn't been any significant spread. The wet weather (it was raining when he showed up) doesn't offer the best conditions for judging how he looks. The rain flattens and darken the coat, and I was taking photos from inside the door.

Eating the medicated food

Face and upper body looking good

Plenty of bare patches though

Great news that he's had one more dose. He seems to have avoided the facial crusting and hopefully now he'll be on the mend.
