My backyard visitor. →[More:]He had a really bad case of mange, which has responded well to the homeopathic treatment I got from a fox charity. He still looks a bit scruffy though, but his fur's growing back well and the lesions on his rump aren't inflamed any more. I need to see about that eye, though, which is also due to mange. I think I'll get some Eyebright tincture for him from the health food store and add it to his food.

He'll probably have taken over the living room by then!

Wow! Good of you to look after him.
Is Lucy displeased?

Lucy likes the foxes. They like to watch each other through the patio door.

Maybe a broad spectrum antibiotic in his food? That might clear up that eye faster than something from the health food store. Your vet might be able to give you some advice. He is SO adorable!

I'm going to speak to the vet but generally antibiotics are only available on prescription. But I get on well with my vet, so he might let me have something for him.

Awe, how sweet. He's so gentle taking the food.
