She was in the care of the charity for just over two weeks where she received treatment and medication to ensure that she was back to her healthy self before setting her free.
Steve Mason, CEO of Second Chance Fox Rescue & Rehabilitation, said: “She was pleased to be back out there. We knew when we caught her that she was with another fox that she seemed to have bonded with – Not long after we saw her off, the same fox was was out there, whether they are siblings are just another fox we don’t know but it was amazing.

"In my personal opinion, I think another week and the infection would have turned into Septicemia.
Steve added: “We haven’t managed to see her yet but that isn’t a surprise she is probably out there living her best foxy life.”
