Kinky showed up early tonight. She'd been around during the day (briefly), and then early evening she was hovering around by the pond. She's still half-bald but hopefully the treatment will be taking effect and we'll start seeing signs of her coat recovering. I'm also wondering whether she has had some cubs recently. Her behaviour has become much more purposeful… she arrives, eats and then goes straight out of the garden and crosses the road. It's altogether more focused on her part than previously. I'm not sure whether she's off to her earth, or pillaging another food source.
Here's the best of the few photos from tonight.

a long time ago since my last visit in your blog (vacations, work …)The fox-lady looks very ill. I am frightened.
What's the matter?

17 Mar 2006Hi,
She had mange, which can be serious. The treatment seems to be working quite well, so with luck she will be completely fine. They lose a lot of fur so it looks bad, but it's beginning to grow back.
We think she'll be ok. 🙂
