Smile Mange in foxes

I've been feeding foxes in our local wood for about 2 years now mostly to stop them getting run over going for food on the other side of the road ( since I've been feeding them there have been no fatalities! ) About 5 weeks ago I noticed that 2 of them were developing quite bad mange, I couldn't put anything down for them because it's a public wood and anyway I couldn't be sure that the mangy foxes would get it, I was talking to a fellow dog walker who told me that her dog had a history of skin problems so she put him on a suppliment called SA37,it's a vitamin & mineral powder quite expensive but the dogs skin complaint has cleared up so I thought I would try it on Vera and Foggy, anyway after a month the mange has cleared completely and Vera has actually got a tail now! I don't know how it worked unless it boosted their imune system or the mange mites didn't like the taste! but anyway all the mange has gone and I thought it might be of some interest ( I'm Pat who posts all the foxy pics )
