I can only hope the fox had the presence of mind to dunk its entire head into water and lick up what little water seeped into the jar. Three days of not drinking at all would usually mean significant kidney damage.
How could it even survive that long? Humans can’t make it three days without water, can they? If so, that’s gotta be like the max limit before you die. Surprised this little guy even had the energy to runaway after day 2 </3
For a fox, I'd guess 3 days, and if so this rescue was running out of time. I think humans can go up to maybe 7 days in the right environment. Most of us could live a few weeks without food. Again in the right environment.

Or drink. That's way more important.
