[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1255840, member: 4191"] That sounds like mange rather than lice. Seen red fox like that. Nothing but the tail bone off their butts. They run on tip-toes without the tail to help maintain balance. Saw two one winter in the same general area. Shot one. The second I missed several times on the run. So mange can also be spread from animal to animal. Wolves being pack animals, any contagious disease is readily transmitted. So within any pack of wolves, one would expect the whole pack to contract either mange or lice. That's why the lice runs rampant once it's initially transmitted from dogs to the wolves. And there's nothing to prevent an animal from having both lice and mange, to my knowledge. They'll both increase heat loss and stress during cold winter weather. No fur means greater heat loss and rates of winter deaths. [/QUOTE]
