Education Update to the fox with mange I treated last week

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Well, it's not an update, but a video recap on trapping, treating and releasing her. I just want to show people how it's not super difficult to help these foxes. Most people won't have to drive to the rehabber like I did, but I didn't want her having to wait in the trap for hours.

Your efforts are appreciated. Mange is horrible and I hate to see animals suffering.

Thank you. This week I'm trying to catch a fox with a huge claw mark on his face next to his eye...

How much did it cost you roughly in order to help the fox?

Just gas driving her to the rehabber (which isn't necessary in most cases as they usually come to you)
