Water Rat Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Found this guy in the front yard recently. At first glance I thought I was a rabbit. Hope he makes it if I can't put him down. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoots100 Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 I had a mangy fox lurking around my place a few years ago. It was a mother that needed some nutrition. I fed it whole milk and some dog food, till it got back to good health and then it disappeared. I have a soft spot for Fox. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too. Nasty disease. Nature can be cruel. And will take her course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Water Rat Posted November 15, 2021 Author Share Posted November 15, 2021 Looks like he's surviving. He contacted mange early in the spring which gave him the best chance for survival. Had he contacted it in the fall he probably wouldn't survive the upcoming winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
