derby fox society will give free medication for fox with mange I had one she was in a terrible state but after feeding the medication to her for about 3 weeks her fur grew back and she lived to bring up her cubs

That's good news. I don't know what the treatment was but we have found that the homeopathic treatments given for mange rarely work.

I live by a large area of abandoned land where I walk my dogs and have seen aprox 5 foxes over the summer. One larger fox has an injury to its back hind and limps. I've been extremely worried about gimpy and have been taking him up two large tins of dog food every three days. I have antibiotics for my dog after he had an infection following surgery and wondered if I could mix this in with gimpy's food to help with any infection he may have?

Hi there,

I just wanted to say I am very overwhelmed with the amount of positive responses I have been witnessing regarding the well - being of the urban fox. I hear so much negative press about the sightings and behaviour of them. To me it is just simply white noise. They are great night hunters and have such a freedom that makes me infinitely envious of. But, I am pleased to see you are looking at ways to help feed and keep the fox's safe. Long may it live!
