After a good in-depth discussion the vet and the RSPCA officer have agreed to leave the fox with me as the vet feels the leg problem is only a sprain and needs no medical intervention.


She said because its a fox the RSPCA rarely take them into the clinic as there are loads of them about and the priority of the RSPCA is to look after the most at risk animals first.

It should be released either tonight or tomorrow night. Makes me slightly nervous since it nearly took a few of my fingers off when trying to get it to come out of its den for the vet.
