Fox Cub No. 8

ByJon

Fox cub No. 8 this year.

This chap was found on a road one evening, thankfully somebody stopped and picked the startled cub up and contacted us.

Unfortunately he is blind, this can be caused by toxoplasmosis and if treated early enough be reversible so without delay he’s on twice daily antibiotics.

Of the 8 cubs admitted this year, one died within minutes of arrival, one was euthanised and five healthy cubs live in an enclosure being prepared for release in the autumn when they would normally leave their mum.
