Fox Rescued After Getting Netting Tangled Around Its Neck in Epsom Garden

A worried homeowner in Epsom called for help after discovering a fox with netting tangled tightly around its neck. The animal was driven into a greenhouse to keep it contained, but rescuers had to act carefully because panic could tighten the noose and worsen the injury. The team assessed the fox for pressure sores and wounds before beginning the delicate rescue.

Feisty Fox TRAPPED With Netting Round His Neck! | Transcript:

So, this morning we are racing towards Epsom. Um, we got a call from an anxious woman about a fox with a net tangled around its neck. She's just acting crazy. The woman managed to drive it into the greenhouse, it seems, but the fox is going crazy, and we really don't want that, because if it gets scared, starts spinning and tightens the noose around its neck even more, it will change everything for the worse. Here she is. God, what a gorgeous baby, is n't he? Let's look at it from this side. We should be concerned about pressure sores. If she's been in the net for a long time, the wound could get worse if we just release her now. So, it's probably

worth taking her to Wildlife Aid for a veterinary checkup. We'll have to do this in stages to keep you from escaping. So, you are beautiful. Once inside the greenhouse, we had to find a way to safely corner our fox and place it in a basket before it hurt itself further in its attempts to escape. What are you doing? This isn't the Crystal Maze game, is it? We're just stuck here trying to catch a fox. Well, how do we do that?

What's the best way to catch you? Hello, dear. You're a real beauty, are n't you? You are beautiful. So, what are you going to do? Are you going to bite? You're in the mood to bite. Okay, you'll be one of those. OK. I'm sure you're used to something on your neck. It shouldn't be too tight. That's it. That's it it. Well, that's it. Well done, Nori. That's all. we will take her to Wildlife Aid. We will give anesthesia, remove the mesh, and check for injuries. I think this would be the best plan. You seem to really like biting.

This is the worst part. This shouldn't be a problem. Yes, it's pretty superficial. So I don't expect any complications from the compression. And she's in great physical shape, I would say, even a little fat. She can.She can be released. Maybe later today? Tonight? Yes.
