Just to let all those JT animal lovers about a brilliant new website:
http://irishwildlifematters.ie/
I am in currently looking after a poorly fox cub and the site is a wealth of information about foxes and other Irish wildlife.
Foxy update: Following my recent chat to vet, it appears that Foxy is suffering from some form of meningitis. The vet assures me there is no danger to us and that by maintaining the current regimen, we should see a vast improvement by Saturday morning. Apparently very young animals recover very well from this disease. There goes my sparse social life, and my house is a tip already!
Thanks for all the words of support. They're much appreciated.
PS. Following a visit to the vet, it was deemed that Foxy had suffered too much brain damage to survive with any quality of life, so he has passed quietly and quickly. RIP
