Fox in the park

This morning, Dylan and Flash disappeared into the distance on the playing field. As it was of course dark, I couldn't see what they were after, but after a while I could hear fox noises. I went up to where they were and sure enough, there was a terrified fox being "attacked" by Dylan and Flash. Of course, Dylan and Flash are muzzled, so couldn't physically hurt the fox, but the fox was exhausted by the time I got to them. I pulled the boys away from the fox and I hope he is ok. He looked quite young...

Lump

On Tuesday, 8th December, I took Dylan to see Mark. Mark thinks it is just a lump that developped around a foreign body. He says it should disappear again over time.
For now, we are just watching it. It hasn't got any bigger so far, but no smaller either.

Lump (abscess?) on hind foot

On Saturday evening, I suddenly noticed a lump on Dylan's left back foot! It is big pea size and doesn't seem to bother him at all. I have booked him in to see Mark tomorrow morning... I wonder whether it is an abcess again as he had an abscess on his hock a couple of years ago. But that was quite umcomfortable, so I am not sure... better getting it checked out.
