Three red fox kits died from highly pathogenic avian influenza in Michigan, which is the state's first confirmation of the virus in wild mammals.
The fox kits, collected between April 1 and April 14, came from three separate dens in Lapeer, Macomb and St. Clair counties.
The DNR received a report from a wildlife rehabilitator in southeastern Michigan about the fox kits exhibiting neurologic signs of avian influenza before death, according to the release.
The kits were observed circling, tremoring and seizing.
Two of the three died within hours of intake, while one appeared to respond to supportive therapy but then died in care.

The true source remains unknown, however it appears to be spread by migrating wild life, especially birds (Geese, water fowl, etc.)
Wasn’t the original birdy flu from china?
S....O....B!!!!
Now where am I going to find all those tiny masks for my chickens?
I still cant find enough little panty hose for all my ducks.
Not really. Contact exposure to raw, dead infected bird is the likely vector.
Oooooh, sounds scary, right?
Read it carefully.
It's SSDD.
Vector for what?
To my mind they haven proven transmission.
I believe that it was first diagnosed in China as were other livestock influenza.
Cautiously watching. This one is not to be taken lightly.
Why?
Have you seen the necropsy report for the kits?
Talked to someone at DNR?
Something?
Anything?
Perhaps.
But truly, no hype, *IF* H5N1 ever evolved, or was manufactured deliberately to have an airborne, human to human vector, THAT is when you really DO have to seal yourself in your home for 90 days.
Doubtful though.
Deep State is a far more clear and present danger to the public health than the latest bug de jour.
