Wrestling Foxes

I think one of these foxes might be sick. You can hear coughing at the beginning of the video and again at the very end of the video.

I've seen something like this in some of our reds and greys. I used to wonder if it was CHF (congestive heart failure). One of the vixen greys had it pretty bad, and would sit sneezing for 15 seconds at a time. I figured she may have died from it - she has been gone for months now, but just tonight I think I caught her on camera again. Time will tell. When she would sneeze vigorously last summer, it was like watching our cat who eventually succumbed to CHF (even though heavily medicated).

If the etiology is cardiomyopathy then it may be as simple as a taurine deficiency, and that can be diet supplemented. *See your local vet.
