| | | Worried sick
I feed the foxes and theres one who comes in and its foot is sore.
I sent off for some homepathic treatment to put on a jam sandwich for him.
Thing is Im off on holiday on Monday and I'll be worried sick the whole time.
My neighbour said she'd throw the sandwiches over the hedge for me while Im away.
I phoned the Spca (Scots one) they said if its no better in July after the cubs have left they will come for it.
I pray it still comes round when I come back then!
Thing is will they help it and bring it back? |

Good for you foxypal, hope it all works -I think if they get the animal right they will release where it was found. 
Good luck
Ken

The girl on the phone said to me that they get around ok on 3 legs and its us who tend to worry more.
It cant be nice to have a sore foot though.
Im sure they feel pain the same as us. |

Theyre probably right, and the animal will work through it, but maybe check when back?

Homeopathic medicine only works when the patient believes that it's receiving effective treatment. It works on faith, not science!

Hi, try not to worry to much you sound a bit like my wife and i, you did not say what the injury was but i expect like dogs, foxes have something in their saliva that will help if it can reach that part of its body, have a nice Holiday and let us know how it gets on when you return, aland.  |

Thanks.
The foot upper bit looks a bit raw and he holds its up instead of walking on it.
Wonder if he has broke that thin bone at the back.
I was reading that a lot of foxes have a break in their bones during their lifetimes,,xrays on foxes have shown old breaks. |
