A rare blood transfusion led by the Toronto Wildlife Centre (TWC) on a poisoned red fox last month miraculously helped save its life. On March 27,...

On March 27, local resident Andrea noticed the sick animal stumbling off the road and assumed that he had been hit by a car., a rescue team arrived and noticed that the fox's behaviour was odd, weak, and lethargic. The wildlife rescue organization also noted that the animal appeared to faint briefly after being captured.

After a brief exam, ultrasound, and blood work,⁠ veterinarians found that the results were not consistent with an animal who had been hit by a vehicle, although the fox was pale and bleeding from minor wounds. The fox still had some mild bleeding from its mouth as well as a small wound, representing signs that it was suffering from rodenticide poisoning.

By the end of the procedure, the fox seemed a bit brighter, and by the next day, he was much more aware and responsive. Weeks later, the TWC says the fox is still stable, eating well, and behaving like a normal fox.
