BİLECİK

A fox cub has been receiving treatment after it was hit by a car in the Central Anatolian province of Bilecik on Feb. 5.

Locals found the injured fox cub on the Bozüyük-Bilecik highway and informed officials at Bilecik’s Bozüyük Municipality.

The municipality’s veterinary team was dispatched to the scene immediately. They later took the cub to a treatment and rehabilitation center for stray animals.

The vet detected the fox cub was suffering hematocele due to the crash.

Nedret Avcı, the manager of the center, said the injured animal was getting better.

“The fox cub was hit by a car in Bozüyük. We brought the animal to our shelter. The cub is suffering from some bone fractures. But a month later it will be released. It is recovering now,” Avcı said.

The fox cub is expected to be released back to nature after receiving a one-month-long treatment.
