Mange?

[markT]

Does this Fox have mange?

 

[Fast14riot]

Looks like sarcoptic mange. Contagious.

 

[Tommie]

That critter looks miserable

 

[Mark W]

Doesn’t look good. I don’t usually do it, but I would probably cull that one.

 

[BobT]

Looks like it! We have had some mange around here lately.

 

[LVLAaron]

Yes. Needs ivermectin

 

[DLT]

Big time

 

[wedgy]

Mange is a sign of a weakened immune system. Coyotes and bobcats around here eat rodents that have been poisoned then it leads to mange. Cull it and bury it.

Demodectic mange usually goes along with a weakened immune system. Sarcoptic mange not so but it is highly contagious and also affects humans.

If you catch Sarcoptic mange from your pet, it is self limiting and looks like a massive red-bug infestation

 

[markT]

Yes same Fox as I posted "Fox in yard what to do?"
Poor fella for sure.
Contagious?

 

[Fast14riot]

Demodectic mange usually goes along with a weakened immune system. Sarcoptic mange not so but it is highly contagious and also affects humans.

Yep, sarcoptic mange is from mites that burrow into the skin of the infected animal and cause an inflammatory reaction, leading to the swollen, bumpy, ugly skin.

 

[centerlineseal]

Yeah! Even the leaves behind him are trying to get away!

 

[coldboreshot]

My question is,
Does this cause the animal unmanageable suffering?
If so, you may want to do the "right thing" here. Sometimes good deeds require no punishment.

 

[STS]

Yes. Needs V-Max

Fixed it for you. You're welcome.

 

[TommyD11730]

Yes. Needs ivermectin

This is the way.

 

[K22]

Yes, it looks like the mange I've seen.

I see it a lot here in eastern PA on groundhogs and coyotes, to a lesser extent on foxes.

 

[J.d. Popkes]

Needs 55gr of medicine.

 

[J.d. Popkes]

Nature is harsh. But you can’t interfere with it. If a fox is on your deck, it’s already gone too far. Blast him or you will have it too.
