This is par for the course where foxes are concerned, and I can barely remember more than a couple of months when one fox or another wasn&#39;t limping. Sometimes it seems to be a sprain, other times more obvious wounds, and &#8211; I suspect &#8211; an occasional broken bone. The current injury is a cut. You can see it in this shot of the fox by the garden pond.<br \/><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/fox_young_male_2002113863.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p>Here&#39;s a closer crop (from a different shot).<br \/><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/fox_young_male_crop_2002113839.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p>Foxes really don&#39;t seem to worry too much about these minor (and sometimes major) wounds; even breaks tend to heal naturally and they are adept at moving around on three legs.
