Hi, we have a lot of urban foxes in the area, i realised today I had trodden in some mess and brought it into my porch on my shoe. It has also got on the bottom of my jeans which i had then worn around the house last night.
My bun is a housebunny but I am concerned about the threats that the fox mess could cause him. Before I realised the mess, last night he was hopping all over the floor - in the porch because I keep his food there, and sniffing at my trousers while we were on the sofa.
I have used antibac wipes on the areas in my porch (carpeted) which are now drying, and have hoovered my entire house very well.
I just wondered whether he can catch anything from running about in the areas before it was cleaned up, or even sniffing and therefore possibly ingesting a tiny bit. Do I need to worm him - can they catch worms from fox poo? anything else I should be aware of or do? I cannot disinfect my whole carpets so I hope hoovering is enough.
Im so disgusted.
it could be cat or dog, but most likely fox. anything extra i need to be aware of incase its cat or dog? he is fully vaccinated. would it be wise to phone the vet
