Unfortunately it has been confirmed by Edinburgh University Veterinary school that a Red Squirrel has been found dead in Dunfermline. This is the furthest northerly confirmed case of Squirrel pox in Scotland. Authorities are advising house holders to stop using bird feeding station's in a bid to try and halt the spread of infection, as feeders are known to be popular with both Red and Grey squirrels. This situation is being monitored very closely and all signs of dead/or infected animals to be reported to the authorities immediately.
