The outbreak of avian influenza is reaching unexpected victims: baby foxes.
Jane Sandberg from the Dane County Humane Society says those fox kits were likely coming into contact with the flu after eating infected birds.
She says, “they were severely neurologic, unable to walk correctly (and) falling over.”
D.C.H.S. has treated a number of those foxes and sick waterfowl.
If you spot an animal acting ill or struggling in your area, do not touch it, but call the D.N.R. or other rescue agency.
