One of the residents of an island nursing home feeds three crows faithfully every day.
Occasionally, a young fox eats the food before the crows arrive. The residents whose rooms overlook the walkway where the animals visit, look forward to seeing the crows every day and the occasional visit by the fox.
Over time, the fox has become gaunt and looks wasted.
It has mange and the residents are concerned. A nurse heard their concern and researched what could be done to help the animal. She found a group which provides medicine to put in food for a fox known to have mange. She acquired the medicine and with the help of staff, the residents started treatment of the fox. They are thrilled the poor animal is receiving help.
The residents are watching closely to see if the poor creature is improving. It will take several weeks of treatment to cure the animal. However a love of animals lasts a lifetime.

Hopefully it works out for the fox.
this was heartwarming dear Marie !
i am so happy that love of lord's creatures has survived despite of all the odds we see in the world today
There's a similar body who supply the fox medication over here; I'm told that it works well. Hope this fox soon begins to recover before your winter comes.
Poor thing. I do hope he recovers and so much gratitude for these concerned seniors. And thank you for sharing this love of animals.
Yikes

And so sweet, that the careers are listening and helping.
Heartwarming story...

Beautiful!
A win, win for everyone.
This is a wonderful story. I hope you follow up and keep us informed. You've given me a big smile for the day.
I'll bet Nature is proud of the humans helping the fox. That's the way things should go. Hope you'll give us an update on this in a couple of months. Interesting story, thanks, Marie, for sharing.
I hope little guy get help. We have them here, although it been while since I seen any. But we have more Coyotes.
Coffee is on and stay safe
Here's a cheer for the return to health of the fox.
An animal suffering from mange is a pathetic sight. It's even more pathetic when It's here where it's cold.
Love that they are taking care of the fox with meds
Aww. I love it.
I always find it fun to see wildlife. We have some fox in this area and they do look a lot healthier than that fox. Hope he improves.
What a great thing for the residents of the senior's home. I hope the fox improves.
Great to read about this, Marie. Are steps being taken to ensure that the crows for whom the food was originally intended are not consuming the food containing the mange medication?
Hello,
It is so nice that the residents and nurse to want to help the fox. I hope the treatment for the fox works. Pretty view of the water! What a nice story, thank for sharing. Take care, have a great day!
