Abstract
In this case report, a female adult red fox (Vulpes vulpes) found exhausted by the villagers in rural area of Eskişehir constituted the study material. A rare myiasis disease was diagnosed in the Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes) who was examined in the Surgery Clinic of the Veterinary Health Application and Research Center. Myiasis is a clinically important condition that can lead to a wide variety of diseases caused by fly larvae. In the case under consideration, multiple puncture wounds containing skin and subcutaneous connective tissues were detected in the thoracic region. The exhausted fox was restrained without the need for any anesthetic procedure, and the wound area was shaved, wound debridement was performed with polyvinyl iode and the larvae were removed manually with forceps. The treatment was terminated with a favorable prognosis, as the red fox was compliant with the treatment during the examination and recovery period and no extra systemic and wound complications were encountered. In conclusion, myiasis, which is rarely formed in the injuries of red foxes encountered in the wild, and the formation of a rapid recovery process with a routine treatment were discussed in order to inform our colleagues and readers and increase their experience.

Abstract
Bu olgu sunumunda, Eskişehir’in kırsal bölgesinde köylüler tarafından bitkin halde bulunan dişi ergin bir kızıl tilki (Vulpes vulpes) çalışma materyalini oluşturdu. Veteriner Sağlık Uygulama ve Araştırma Merkezi Cerrahi kliniğinde muayene edilen Kızıl Tilki’de (Vulpes vulpes) nadir görülen miyazis hastalığı teşhis edildi. Miyazis klinik açıdan önemi olan ve sinek larvalarından kaynaklanan çok çeşitli hastalığa kapı açabilen bir durumdur. Ele alınan olguda torakal bölgede deri ve derialtı bağ dokuları içeren çok sayıda punktur yarası belirlendi. Bitkin düşen tilkinin herhangi bir anestezik işleme gerek kalmadan zaptı raptı sağlanarak yara bölgesi tıraşlandı, polivinil iode ile yara debridmanı gerçekleştirildi ve larvalar manuel olarak pens ile uzaklaştırıldı. Kızıl tilkinin muayene ve iyileşme süresinde tedaviye uyumlu davranması ve ekstra sistemik ve yara yeri komplikasyonuna rastlanmaması ile prognoz olumlu şekilde tedavi sonlandırıldı. Sonuç olarak, yaban hayatta karşılaşılan kızıl tilkilerin yaralanmalarında nadiren şekillenen miyazis durumu ve rutin bir tedavi ile hızlı bir iyileşme sürecinin şekillenmesi meslektaşlarımızın ve okuyucuların bilgilendirilmesi ve tecrübelerinin artırılması amacıyla ele alındı.
