Re: Mange in foxes

Disease in any animal is down to susceptibility and in towns the foxes are more likely to be eating scraps, tinned food that people put out, etc thus making them less healthy. A country fox is going to be eating a far healthier diet so will be less susceptible to ailments of any sort. The vit mix that was given will be improving the animals health by giving the nutrients that are lacking in the diet: healthier animal = less susceptibility to disease.
