We last saw him on <a href=\"http:\/\/my.opera.com\/Words\/blog\/2006\/12\/26\/what-the-foxes-did-for-christmas\" target=\"_blank\">Boxing Day<\/a>, and he looked in reasonable shape. Well he was back tonight, and I&#39;m afraid that the mange seems to have taken hold. <\/p>\n<p><span class=\"aligncenter\"><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/01\/fox_1501071821.jpg' \/><\/span> His rear legs are worst affected, and his brush is badly diminished.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/01\/fox_1501071814.jpg' \/><\/span> <span class=\"aligncenter\">We gave him some food with cod liver oil<\/span>. <\/p>\n<p>The feeding is mainly to keep him interested so there&#39;s a chance he&#39;ll come back. The oil helps their coat a bit, but isn&#39;t going to make much headway in his current state. I&#39;ll try to get some ivermectin from the local centre, so if he does return we can start the treatment again. His face is heavily scarred, but I think those are mainly battle wounds. He&#39;s no kid, and has a tough job to hang on to his territory.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/01\/1601071501071820.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/01\/fox_1501071820.jpg' \/><\/span> <span class=\"aligncenter\">That old familiar face<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>One final photo &#8211; this time of a squirrel at work today.
