Your homeopathic methods haven't worked?

Well blow me down!

Homoeopathic methods do work, have you ever tried any?

Let me explain: drops of the remedy are sprinkled on food (that is not the treatment); it depends on getting the fox to eat the treated food over a period of about three weeks. Tried and tested elsewhere with success. I haven't found a food that this fox will accept so I'm not yet in a position to say if the remedy works on this fox.

If you just want an argument about whether alternative therapies work or not, I suggest you set up a new topic. I'm sure the thread would be very busy.

I think it's really nice that you're trying to help the fox Veronica. I hope he agrees to eat the food and maybe the treatment will work.

Well one thing that will work is Ivermectin. I used to see a fox taking chicken from a woman near me. If Ivermectin was put on that it would cure mange. Basically the stuff you rub in your cat or dogs neck if they have it will work if ingested.

I saw this fox snapping up the crow out our lounge window! At about 4.30pm! It was choice.

Fox Eating Crow

I remember about 10 years ago, when I lived in Rotherhithe, there was an outbreak of mange. The Fox Project sent me some homeopathic remedy, instructing me to put it in jam sandwiches - and it worked! Except for one young fox, who decided to sleep on my cat's mat, outside - and very sadly died in my arms, when I gently picked it up to place it in the empty bath. Gulp.

Its the treatment working ???

Thanks for caring aobut the fox, i hope everything its going good so far... cheers

No, I haven't. It was just too easy a joke to let pass. No offence intended!

Inspired by them I've been creeping around in the deep nigh-time with the remedy on tiny honey sandwiches (foxes have a sweet tooth - this one doesn't); cat food; and ham - all refused. It did have some treated water, and I got within two feet of it.

My neighbour feeds them chicken every night I think, have you tried that?
