From Arctic Fox Daily on Facebook:

Happy Halloween from our very own little Frankenstein! 🎃🦊 November 1st marks TWO MONTHS since Apple the Red fox underwent brain surgery to have a VP shunt placed to treat her hydrocephalus. Look at our sweet, spicy, resilient, little history-makin’ hydro warrior now! ❤️‍🩹

Apple 5 weeks post surgery acting her normal self with no new symptoms from hydrocephalus.

This is Apple. She's the first red fox in the U.S. and probably the first fox period in the U.S. to undergo surgery to have a shunt placed to aid with fluid build up in the brain caused by hydrocephalus.

She is another resident fox of Arctic Fox Daily. She's one of two kits taken in at the same time and the only to survive. Arctic Fox Daily has been building their medical vet network to get more answers and find solutions for foxes with hydrocephalus who aren't ready to give up on life.

Apple's initial MRI was conducted in mid May of 2026. She was treated with medication which helped but did not completely solve the issue. Apple was still slowly declining. It was clear she needed a shunt. Apple had surgery early September 2026 and is doing very well so far. She is full of life and ready to take on the world. Or, at least social media.

This Is (was) Porsha aka The Queen of Chaos, aka Porky, one of my favorite foxes over at Arctic Fox Daily. Porsha was well known for being loud and proud and stealing Kim (the rescuer)'s phone and running away.

Here's the Facebook link if you want to read more about the wonderful chaotic life of Porsha. They're also going as Arctic Fox Daily on all social media and ArcticFoxDaily.org
