Kiara - The Pet Red Fox Cub - In Loving Memory

e ducissimo lo voglio anche io

[FoxieKiara]

I just want to say Thank You all.... For the many kind comments and support you have offered me.

Although I am still crying when reading these comments it's a good crying - and heals my heart to know that not everyone thinks foxes are nasty creatures - and most importantly that there are so many people who actually care about our wildlife and have no wish for it to be destroyed.

If you love foxes please google and sign the online petitions to stop the repel of the fox hunting act, and have you

I would give all my possessions to turn back time and not leave her at the vets for treatment, because I know in my heart that she would have had less seizures at home where she was comfortable. I hate myself for leaving her - but after all the vets are supposed to know what best for them.

I was horrified a few weeks after she died when I found out about a TV program that had sent someone undercover at MediVet (the emergency vets we had to take her to) branches - and found awful treatment of a

[FoxieKiara]

I am not going to be able to stop myself this year from driving all of the back roads in case I come upon a dead vixen who might have baby's who need help!

On one hand I really want a fox again because they are such amazing and interesting creatures - even if they are harder work than all other pets put together!

But on the other, even if by grace or luck I had this one in a thousand chance again - it wouldn't be her, and it would feel too much like trying to replace her.

[FoxieKiara]

The majority of the video was taken after she had been with me for a week or so - around 4 1/2 weeks at a guess - when she was first rescued we think she was only 3 1/2 weeks because her back legs were very underdeveloped like she hadn't been walking around for very long.

She was so cute and used to almost tip over with her back legs raising off the ground whenever she put her head down toward the floor.

I remember how relieved I was when she learnt to lap at water/milk - and I am sure she lear

[Teggster420]

was she 4 weeks in this video?

[duckyrun2]

At least she was able to have someone to love her. This is such a sad story. I'm sorry.

[LifeInTheBackyard]

awwww im sorry

[abooskee]

OH NO! I made it the whole way through the video, until the last part when the baby picture came up and i EXPLODED IN TEARS!

Sorry for your loss :(

[GlassByThaddeus]

Sorry for your loss. I know how you feel tho. I had a silver fox which died around her first birthday. It really tore me up, she was my little buddy.

[R3dfox121]

I'm sorry for your loss. She was beautiful! Your story was touching. =)

[thexashes]

I am so sorry for your loss <3

[CircleMc89]

So sorry for your loss...At least she is free of pain now and gets to be with her mother and sibling.

[harrisonthatsme]

i want a pet fox. im sorry about her :(

[KassandraRaudman]

This is the saddest thing I've ever seen! It made me cry. You're so blessed to have had that chance with her. It was meant to be!

[SmotPoker09]

[CrimFC3S]

I know everyone else has said it, but I'm sorry for your loss.  Anyone that loves animals has gone through that pain, and it never gets any easier. But you gave her love and comfort in that short time, and its obvious she did the same for you. Hope your heart hurts a little less as time goes by. Its a beautiful video. :')

[GuyKitton]

Its says loving memory does that mean kiara is dead?

[miniarma]

[EchoArchAngel]

I'm sorry you lost your little  friend. She knew she was loved for her brief period here.

[FoxyVideoGirl1]

[x0BunBun0x]

Im so sorry for your loss hun ): I, among a bajillion others, know how it feels to loose someone close to you. I hope that she is having fun pouncing around in heaven <3 RIP baby Kiara

[despairedpheonix]

I am so sorry for your loss. She looks like she was a very good girl, and you obviously did a great job training her. May she rest in peace <3

[TheGarlude]

I-I've never seen such a friendly red fox before.....and she was named after my favorite anime feline.....most red foxes I've seen were savage canibals, as they preyed on other foxes, especially the peaceful snow foxes of the north. But your fox Kirara.....she's different somehow.

In other words, this is a nice video.

[khaza1wolfgurl]

@TheGarlude it's Kiara like from Lion King II, not Kirara from Inuyasha (I love Kirara, though) I've never heard of cannibalistic foxes that weren't rabid or otherwise sick, tell me more! :0

[hotsaucefloatsmyboat]

Dude. I can't even watch this. Just thinking about it is making me cry.

[mag237]

I guess it was brain tumor she had, because seizures are sometimes caused by brain tumors.

[bitteryshweet]

she is oo adorable it breaks my heart to watch this cute video

[chexmixultimate]

That was such a heartbreaking story. I'm so sorry that you lost her, especially when she was just a baby. She was really beautiful.

[Jyhwei0507]

she's so precious! her eyes!! :( I'm sorry you lost her so soon. Shes' lucky to have met you and you're a great person for taking her in. 

[Jyhwei0507]

@Jyhwei0507 also, what's the title of the songs you used?

[xcupcakekitty21x]

so SAD! sniff, sniff

[Jimfoxyboy]

Sad that her parents got killed, but she was very lucky that you were there to take her in. You gave her a life she wouldn't have had otherwise. In return, she gave you a rare insight to foxes that few people get to see first hand. And now, I am thankful that you have shared this story about her. My condolences for the loss.

[flapjack12295]

Poor fox, I love foxes. Ur story brought me to tears. I'm so sorry. R.I.P. What was the cause of the seizures?

[knoxbox01]

I read the description just now and teared up... I'm a guy wtf... That is so sad, I'm sorry. I really feel for you.

[chesswars2008]

That is sooooooooooo sad.I am sorry for you. :(

[kitsunehatake123]

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww adorable!!!

[BlueberrySquidMuffin]

Aww what a sweet little foxxyy... <3 R.I.P

[Xzero0093]

thats sad got me sad

[MegaAwesomenessisme]

:* kisses!

[henrycst]

Good!!~~did't say anymore!! really lucky for you and Kiara~~

[Swiftpaw22]

What would cause seizures like that?? A disease, or genetics like Alzheimer's?

[labassoonista]

oh man... this breaks my heart.

[nekogirl1257]

That's what happened to my bob tail. Once they told me they couldn't stop the seizures I didn't want her to be in anymore pain cause she already went blind by them

[workinoutgirl]

So sweet and sad at the same time. I know you didn't mean to, but for others out there to know, raisins and sugar are poisonous to animals to the extreme. Many of you know, but some do not. Sorry for your loss ;(

[sweetaimers21]

thats so sad that she had problems and was put to sleep. i wish she would have made it.

[mrlittlepblow]

i don't get it is a human dead or an animal sorry if his sounds harsh but i just don't get it because dano21 was talking abouta person ?

[HiJaayD]

@mrlittlepblow LOL THIS IS ANOTHER KIARIA. of course its a person, she dies in a car accident.

[here2win100]

@HiJaayD how is it funnt like seriously? the kiara that died in a car accident i knew irl and her parents cried for days :(

R.I.P Kiara

[2010del1]

but is fox dead?

[DraccoKnightblade]

Poor lil thing...D:>

[PcostaDaddy]

not very often you type in a cute video to cheer you up and you end up being more sad than you were at the start

[exavaris]

She was beautiful.

[TRSforthewin]

='( i balled my eyes out ( yes i love animals tht much) i just couldn't stop crying i feel so bad for you

[squirrel1612]

I feed foxes in my garden & the only cub that every came in got killed by a cat ! I have been doing this for many years now & I am so glad to meet other foxy people :) Your story is so sad though. You did your best.

[theonlydoberman211]

:'( that is sad. And you bonded so fast? aw... D:

[TransformiceHi]

;o Aww. ;c. My name is Kiara too, but this.. this is jut sad

[sum0f1]

how did kiara die?

[sum0f1]

@sum0f1 If she did not die, you got lucky. At 4 weeks, that is when it is proper to separate her/him from mother for pet purposes. I have had my red fox Boxxy since she was 4 weeks old, but refuse to cage her, because i feel it is cruel to do so. I have vids of her on my profile.

[FoxieKiara]

@sum0f1 Kiara was in a crate when she was younger - but only during the day while she slept - but as she grew older i gradually stopped closimg the door and eventually took it away altogether (after everything had been fox-proofed!)

[FoxieKiara]

@sum0f1 She begun to have seizures and the vets said after a night of hospitalisation that it was best for her to be put to sleep - im still not sure whether the right descision was made as two hours prior to this (before the head vet was in) the other staff said she was 'much the same as last night' ie having small 10-20 second long seizures and then very sleepy.

[darkyoda]

@FoxieKiara Sometimes, Inari blesses us with her little messengers. Sadly there is always a time when they have to go home. It is believed though that as with all kitsune (fox spirits) they stay around waiting for the time when you and they will once again run and play. When you can be together forever.

[Gardiken]

@FoxieKiara

That's so sad. I'm sorry :(

[Atomicbadgerman]

R.I.P. Kiara......

Sorry to hear your bad news Hollie.
