Fox Facial Injury -Self Healing

   This facial injury fox -most seem to be caused by car swiping- was one Sarah Mills (Bristol Fox Lady/Bristol Wildlife Rescue) had been looking for but as with most foxes it was not being cooperative. 

The fox was spotted again and most of the healing has happened by itself; foxes are tough and many do survive facial injuries. From experience I can tell the reader that the important thing is avoidance of any infect and once an infection does hit the smell you will always remember!

In this case Sarah took some anti-inflammatories so it means this fox will be one of the lucky survivors.
