If you are interested in the details, please pm me.

are you saying that the NFWS treatment is a homeopathic one ? - I wasnt aware of that but if so i'd concur with you that homepathic remedies for mange dont cut it

with a fox in the condition that the OP describes would food based medical remedies be sufficient or would it be better to catch/trap it for more advanced treatment at a wildlife rescue centre - i'm leaning towards giving the the latter advice but would be interested in your opinion as you obviously know more about this subject
