There was a fox hanging around on our deck and roaming the property. It was itching a lot while on the deck and stayed a while. His coat looked mangy and/or flea bitten. I picked up poop in 3 different places on the yard and driveway and then poured bleach on the spot. I talked with our local conservation officer and he said they have seen several fox with mange in the last couple of weeks. I was also concerned about leptospirosis but he wasn’t aware of any cases of lepto.
How likely is it that Buxton will get mange? What can I do to prevent it? Would mites be left on the deck where the fox was itching? Would the mites be in the lawn?
Thank you!
