Scrap that. Tonight he was holding his right fore-leg and emulating a bunny as he more or less hopped around on three legs. I&#39;ve no idea what he&#39;s getting up to that&#39;s causing so many minor injuries, but he really should learn to take better care of himself. I do worry for him. <br \/><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/fox_cub_1010071885.jpg' \/><\/span> <span class=\"aligncenter\">Limping across the garden<\/span><\/p>\n<p>I&#39;ve been scouring through tonight&#39;s photos to see if I can spot a wound. The front of the leg looks fine apart from a small nick (which I doubt can be the cause). And he did put the foot down when he was standing, though I don&#39;t think he was putting his full weight on it. When he moved he held it quite high, even when running.<br \/><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/fox_cub_1010071883.jpg' \/><\/span> <span class=\"aligncenter\">You may be able to see a slight nick on his right leg in this shot.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The only near shot of the rear of the leg is this next one. There does seem to be some sort of swelling above the pad, but it&#39;s difficult to see quite what is going on, and I&#39;ve not had any luck enlarging the picture (it is simply too grainy in the original). I&#39;ll try and keep an eye on him, but he seems to be coping ok for the moment. <br \/><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/fox_cub_1010071897.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p>On a different note, the <a href=\"http:\/\/my.opera.com\/community\/blog\/2007\/10\/10\/blog-action-day\" target=\"_blank\">My Opera community<\/a> is participating in <a href=\"http:\/\/blogactionday.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Blog Action Day<\/a>.
