“She did everything RIGHT…
Michaela noticed this mangey fox hanging around her house. Once the fox went into her garage, she closed possible exits and called us. We didn’t have to chase this already compromised animal. He crawled into her garage and fell asleep. Next thing he knew, he was in a carrier being brought to the rescue.
He is in rough shape. He is dealing with mange and a slow clotting time (likely from rat poison). We will be tending to him night and day until he is stable.
Thank Michaela, for giving this young red fox a second chance at the wonderful life deserves.”-Newhouse Wildlife Rescue.
UPDATE at 10:25am:
“Someone is feeling better this morning. ❤️ Now that he’s all hydrated, we will begin treatment for mange. He is also being treated secondary rodenticide poisoning, skin infections, eye infections, roundworms, hookworms and whipworms.
His treatment will likely take about 6 weeks.
He’s tough and we believe he will pull through. ❤️”-Newhouse Wildlife Rescue.
