Foxes very frequently are rabid. Honestly, I'm more worried about them than coyotes because of this. Because of their small size, they often live in much closer proximity to humans.
Several years ago there was a bounty here on foxes because so many were rabid. As you know, full blown rabies is 100 percent fatal to humans.
