…a fox looks ill?
In short A fox that does not fear people is not tame. Most often it is a sick fox.
Should you step in?
Not on your own. A sick fox is a case for specialists, not for an attempt to catch it.
When is help needed?
Bald patches and scabs, extreme thinness, an unsteady gait, seizures, drooling, complete indifference to people and dogs.
What you must never do
Do not touch it bare-handed, keep children and dogs away, and do not try to treat it yourself.
When to contact us
At once, as soon as you notice these signs. Describe the behaviour and send a photo from a safe distance.
A real rescue
