It was ultimately discovered sluggish, emaciated and dehydrated by rescue officers and the blockage was eliminated prior to the animal was moved to a wildlife centre for rehab.
RSPCA animal rescue officer Cara Gibbon said the circumstance might have been prevented quickly.
She said: “It is so sad and heartbreaking to understand that this poor fox wouldn’t have actually remained in this circumstance if somebody had actually gotten rid of their litter properly in the very first location.
“Thankfully we had the ability to securely capture him and get rid of the litter and we moved him to a wildlife centre where he was checked out.
“He was emaciated and dehydrated, likely because he hasn’t been able to eat or drink properly for three weeks – but thankfully he’s now getting the treatment he needs.”
Over the last 3 years, there have actually been more than 10,000 calls about animals impacted by litter, according to the RSPCA.
The charity gets approximately almost 10 reports daily about hurt, caught, mutilated or dead animals due to disposed of litter and is prompting the general public to deal with rubbish properly to secure animals and wildlife.
RSPCA clinical officer Evie Button said: “Litter is among the greatest threats our wildlife deals with today.
“Our staff handle countless events every year where animals have actually been affected by thoughtlessly disposed of litter – and what they are seeing is most likely simply the pointer of the iceberg.
“Sadly, for each animal we’re able to help, there are most likely lots of that go hidden, unreported and might even lose their lives.
“Animals who get their heads or necks stuck in litter can suffer serious injuries as they have a hard time to break totally free and can even suffocate, while others will gradually grow weaker and weaker as they attempt to hunt or discover food or water.
“Our message to the public is simple – do the right thing and throw your litter away to avoid more animals from suffering.”
