The Bristol Fox Deaths Project

  Sadly, despite repeated appeals, there is no sign of anyone willing to check out dead foxes that meet a certain criteria for the Bristol Fox Death Project. Once checked and if established that the fox meets our criteria it then needs to be transported to a pathology lab for post mortem.  

One of the things we are looking out for is jaundice -the photo below demonstrates what this looks like and it is one reason why we ask people to take photographs of the head/mouth.

The tint of jaundice can also be seen in the eyes as below.

It is a shame that what is a ground-breaking project on fox deaths has to end especially since I fought long and hard to get official post mortem examinations carried out but no one wants to get involved with dead animals it seems...not even veterinary students.
