Today I received the 6th (of 12) post mortem report on fox cubs submitted after they collapsed and whose systems were shutting down with jaundice present.
Out of the six cases one was a case of "mismothering" -ie the fox was not looked at so likely orphaned. Another was a case we are still looking into but involves enteritis. Four of the cases were acute leptospirosis. It looks as though the remaining six will also fall into the lepto category but until we have a completed PM report we say nothing definite.
A rescue in Northern England has stated that any similar cases in their area will be submitted for PM which means we will see if results from the North match the SW. It would be nice to get similar arranged for the SE of England but in this business you go with what happens!
Once we have the full twelve PM reports they will be covered in a report separate to the main PM study cases.
