why did it have rabbies/mange/foot and mouth? wash your hands with disinfectant then into a bowl of warm very salty water and dry.you will live. why did you release the fox or had you killed it first? in the uk we have to use non locking snares so have to shoot any animal in the snare.in europe you can still use strangling /self tightening snares so why release the fox just replace the damaged snare with a new one.

it looked fairly healthy as it scampered off, although drenched from the rain. It was trying very decisively to bite me but I wouldnt blame it.

It wasnt a fox that killed my chickens, plus I enjoy hunting them too much to kill them with snares... but point taken

Do you have rabies in the area? If so I’d say it would be a sensible precaution to speak to a doctor about any kind of jabs etc. Presume you’re up to date with tetanu etc?
Alcoholic wipes on it or antiseptic wipes and keep an eye on it, if it starts swelling it's infection so cut it out and crack on
Derek Trotter (Del) was concerned about the risk, his Doctor asked if he had any trouble passing water. What about you?
why set fox wires and then let them go ?

I have been bitten by two foxes and one was a ripping bite.I didn't bother the Doc,just a wash with some dettol and a bit of taping and all was fine.Tetanus shots if you have had one I believe are good for 7-8 years,one of the Doc`s on here can clarify that if I`m way out.
