When you say it was wrecked and could not get up, do you mean it was like injured?

just to say that the dog may take part in the rearing of the cubs but is not essential.if i see a dog fox around he will get the good news thats for sure.

for a fox to behave like that is not typical,could he have been released and not kmown where to go? any bald patches or other sign of sickness??

id have put it to sleep.

Back a couple of weeks ago when it was cold i know of four fox,s that were found curled up dead under trees and hedges around where we live . I put this down to being such a hard winter and cold for so long but in the last two weeks my mates have been out with their terriers and pushed out two fox,s that couldn,t run.the reason for this i don,t know never herd of it before the fox,s looked in good nick they tell me .ATB taker.

lung worm? exhaustion after the mating season(weaker dogs won't feed for some time when chasing vixen about,to be beaten off by stronger dogs...........)

if anybody does happen across such a fox it may be worth sending to a vertrinary clinic/university to find out what the crack is.

Years ago I was out with the Border Foxhounds when a fox did the same as you describe.An old chap standing nearby said that at about this time of the year foxes bloat themselves eating frog spawn and they can't run far.Don't know if he was taking th p**s or what,suppose it might be true.
