Lois McMaster Bujold
We don't know. Possibilities include, Animals Are Different, the fox got a brief spurt to escape (foxes can sprint really fast) before passing out in some shadowy place her pursuer missed in the dusk (that would be my pick), or the god stuck His thumb in somewhere.

Lois McMaster Bujold:
I was reading a thread (https://bit.ly/3FKJuMs) on how it was once considered prestigious for women in China to spend their entire lives - or as much time as possible - in decorated, raised canopy beds, and instantly thought back to float-chairs. The described attitude towards them especially seemed similar, as did one of the stories about the practice related in the post. Was this tradition an inspiration?

I feel a very strong spiritual affinity with the Five Gods theology to the extent of seriously considering writing it as my religion on the New Zealand census form this week. My desultory searches have not shown up anyone else taking it this seriously. Are you aware of any expressions of the Five Gods spirituality outside of your novels?
