29 Aug
Summary
- A fox cub named Chance is recovering in a hydrotherapy pool.
- He was injured after being hit by a car, impacting his back legs.
- Vets initially considered euthanasia before rescue efforts began.

A young fox cub, affectionately named Chance, is currently engaged in a unique rehabilitation program to overcome injuries sustained from being hit by a car. The cub was discovered by a member of the public lying by the roadside with severely impaired back legs. Initial veterinary assessments were dire, with euthanasia being a potential outcome.
Mansfield Wildlife Rescue in Nottinghamshire stepped in to provide care. Chance is now participating in hydrotherapy sessions at the Mansfield Canine Centre. These assisted swimming exercises are being conducted with his designated carer to help him regain strength and boost his confidence.
