General Chat

We have a lot of them here. A vet friend of mine finds it quite funny that people feed them, after he explained that they carry - Toxocariasis, Weils disease, Mange, fleas and ticks. You wouldnt feed a giant rat coming into your garden so why feed a fox. She said she was seeing more and more rabbit and usually older cat injuries caused by foxes. Sorry dont mean to sound cheeky, but there urine etc can cause a lot of dangers.

Also Joy be aware that Foxes are known carriers of

ICH (INFECTIOUS CANINE HEPATITIS)

Infectious canine hepatitis is a disease which affects the liver, kidneys, eyes and lungs of a dog. The disease can develop very quickly and some individuals may die within hours of becoming unwell.

It is transmitted by direct contact with infected urine, saliva and faeces. Furthermore, dogs that have recovered from this disease can still be infectious to other dogs for more than six months. Young puppies are particularly susceptible to the disease. The virus is relatively hardy and can survive for months in the environment under ideal conditions.

This disease is becoming more wide spread, due to two factors the increased numbers of urban foxes and the fact that more and more dog owners are not getting puppys vaccinated or giving older dogs boosters
