Val's Surgery
Val needs surgery on his mouth YEARLY. It is now his 1 year anniversary of him being with us and he needs his due for another surgery. He has something called Gingival hyperplasia which is just the overgrowth of gums (luckly this is not cancerous). Studies have shown this is often hereditary in farm foxes. This happens when they are bred for the fur quality (many of you may have noticed he has the thickest coat of fur here) and this was the unfortunate side affect. We can help Val! He will need more surgeries to remove the tissues so the teeth can have normal wear and exposure. Removing the extra tissue will also help prevent infections. Because with how they are now he often gets hair stuck in his gums and he has a more difficult time eating. We would appreciate donations to help Valentine's medical costs.
