Over the Christmas period I will be looking at all of the fox post mortem reports to compile a paper.
What have we learnt from submitting the dead foxes? A lot. Not just about Road Traffic injuries but also illnesses and more. The pathologist -again; he is absolutely brilliant and more thorough than I ever expected- is hoping to see whether any foxes found dead next year will correlate with this year's findings.
Thankfully the post mortems are not costing us money and will add much more to what we know about foxes.
The Fox Death Project is the only one of its kind in the UK but its findings could help vets as well as rescues in years to come.
