Gray fox injured in the fire returned to the wilderness

A gray fox that was seriously injured in a forest fire last year was successfully deleted on Monday after they had rehabilitated for five months at the Ramona Wildlife Center of the San Diego Humane Society.

The fox was saved on September 30 by the California Ministry of Fish and Wildlife after it was injured in the airport fire, which burned more than 23,500 Acres in the counties and riverside last autumn.

Officials said the fire caused the paw cushions of the FOX burns second and third degrees.

In order to save the animal, the Graufuchs was brought to the Ramona campus of the San Diego Humane Society, one of the few animal rehabilitation centers of the state, which were equipped for coping with local predators, where it was made aware of the employees every day.

According to Nina Thompson, a spokesman for the organization, the Graufuch needed a unique diet and pain therapy. Angela Hernandez-Cusick, a manager in the facility, said that the animal had extensive tissue damage extensively enough to need a partial amputation of some of his toes.

In order to help themselves to recover, it was important that the bandages on the four paws of the Fox remained, and the team had to find new ways to keep the patient's spirit during his recovery, said Hernandez-Cusick. A technical personnel concerned the carving of small pumpkins and the mood of the fox diet to create a natural puzzle with which he could play and work all night.

During the recovery, the fox was transferred to an enclosure outdoors to see how his abilities in the wilderness had recovered since his first injuries and whether he would thrive during the release, officers said.

“The team noticed early on that the fox avoided people and hid when specialists entered the housing to feed or clean,” said Hernandez-Cusick. “It was also common for him to growl and try to escape the specialist if necessary to catch him for medical interventions.”

In order to maintain the wild nature of the animal, the employees of the center of the climbing structures and used hiking cameras installed the outdoor case to monitor the recovery of the FOX, said Thompson. Within a few months, the Gray Fox showed more mobility and navigated protocols and platforms in his habitat.

“His ability to climb and jump was important to us to determine his willingness to thrive in the wild,” said Autumn Nelson, operations manager of the Ramona facility.

After he thought he was ready to return to the wilderness, the officials returned to an area where the Fuchs was found injured on Monday and released the animal from a cage.

“This animal was defenseless with life -threatening wounds from the airport fire,” said Alexis, a veterinarian in the center. “His forecast was guarded for a long time, but in the end he ultimately overcame his injuries so that he could return home.”
