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.
