If the fur is going to be a lost cause in the end this is what I would try: purchase some very thin pigskin (dress glove weight) and glue it to the hide side of the fox. Use a flexible leather glue.

I'm sure that is not the way a conservator would do it, but if you want it to be sturdy enough to use it needs a sturdy base.

Otherwise you are faced with restitching all the fur pieces together with new thread, I think.
