Its been a little over a year since Ash has become a part of our farm and hearts. July fourth week marks the time he showed up just shy of being a kit.
We haven't seen him much on the past few weeks but we know he shows up nightly for his supper. Maybe he hasn't shown face because of the past time when David treated his wound with bactine spray. (Hey he was just trying to eat- why was this guy spraying him with stuff? And why does it numb my tongue when I lick it?) But last night he showed up
Small as we've known him....but with mange again.
We were waiting for this to happen.
Foxes aren't immune to it even if treated. We've had another mangy fox run thru the yard on occasion so I've been suspecting to see some on Ash in the falltime. But it came a bit early this year.
Today David went out and got his medicine. Its another nine week treatment that will also kill any ring, round, or tapeworm he might have. Not only will it treat worm and mange, but mites as well.
I will try and score a pic of him tonight so we can watch his progress. Call us crazy but our little buddy is very much loved!
