RSPCA animal rescue officer Shane Lynn said it was "very sad" but he was grateful to the fox's rescuers.Mr Lynn collected the fox and took him to the vets, where he was given a full bill of health."It is heartbreaking what happened to this poor fox cub - but we are so grateful that he was found and is now in a safe place where he can recuperate," he said.
