Apparently, foxes have terrible trouble with scabies and once infested, the foxes usually die from exposure to the cold because such large patches of fur are missing or from being so weakened by the infection that they can no longer eat. I'm so sad for you and for both our foxes. They are such beautiful creatures!Adrienne Zwarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15399915534602362046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-973593384239080192.post-91639761119757191912009-07-19T11:18:35.358-04:002009-07-19T11:18:35.358-04:00Poor little guy!
