Mange is treatable,don't let them suffer and die.

In 2014 late summer/early fall we had 3 fox kits with severe mange. They got so bad that they could hardly see,had to use their nose to try smell out food and had open sores and fur loss. Criss crossed back n forth on the road and just barely were surviving. Again my friend bound into action. I watched these young foxes and their mother and got their route down pact. Timing everything so that we could get them. First one my friend got it with his bare hands,after searching for a couple hours. She finally at the last minute as we were packing up for the evening came walking down the street. It was bizarre. We had her. Numbers 2 & 3 came a little later via live traps. After being treated for mange and their open sores treated and healed and fur grew back they came home for release back to the wild. All released at night for their own safety it was spectacular to see. Healthy foxes,full of life and a second chance at life they got. Please. If you see any animal with mange. It is not rabies,it is 100% treatable and curable. They suffer terribly and die an long horrible death. Nothing deserves that. Please call your nearest wildlife rehabilitation facility and get them help.

                                       This little one came to me one day looking for food.

This is another one of the 3 in such bad shape I followed it up the road one day with my flashers going so it didn't get hit. It was in horrible shape. But was cured and released.

One got caught in somebodies raccoon trap,the guy he called knew I was looking for foxes. Look at the crusty sores on this pour things ears.

  Then my friend set up a fox live trap in same are as these kits ran together. And we got the 3rd one.  The maintenance guy of that property helping me out.

And another friend helping him carry it to my car for the trip to Toronto Wildlife Center.It was in rough shape.

                             In the back seat of my car. We covered her to keep her calm and secure.

                                             One before it got sick. Beautiful young fox.

 They were all over the place searching for food as they were starving.People were afraid of them but they we not going to hurt anything. They just needed help.

    She came walking up my street on garbage day and the crows alerted me to her presence. I through her some left over salmon.  She was so hungry.

                                             Then she proceeded to lick her open wounds.

 She was limping on one back leg it was so bad.People thought she was hit by a car but it was her sores.

                                            My friend setting the trap to get number 3.

                    All 3 now gotten and taken to rehab. All 3 came home looking gorgeous.
