Kiara - The Pet Red Fox Cub - In Loving Memory

Kiara came into my life when her mother and sibling were killed on the road at a mere age of 4 weeks.

She bonded with me so much that after a few days and was thriving. She used to love running about on her walks, and changing her mind which way she wanted to go every 30 seconds!

Her favourite treats were raisans and cheese, or anything sweet. Who would think a fox would turn her nose up at raw meat in favour of my ice cream!

She would cuddle upto me when she was sleepy, and when i took her out she would sit in my arms with her paws and head on my shoulder - looking at the people passing on the street until we got the the park.

She loved being stroked and fussed over but best she loved to play, so sad I never got any video of her and i roughing it up with her favourite toy.

At 5 months old she started having seizures and had to be hospitalized, the vets tried everything they could to save her but after a night of trying they decided it was best to end it.

To lose her so early in her life has broken my heart, especially so suddenly.

I thought it would be Her and me forever - The Girl and the Fox

I will always miss her - Rest in Peace Baby X

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

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.

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

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

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.
