I just wondered if it somehow were contaminating other animals. I am most kind to animals. Hence my query.

In my opinion the ethical thing to do is kill it. I’m not sure if that is correct or legal. Do you have a friend who is a game warden locally you can call?

Leave it be.Nothing wrong with that fox.They look rough like that when they are shedding their winter coat.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

On second look at the pictures, I don’t think that fox has mange. He is scraggly looking though. But it is probably fine, leave it be.

With a completely bare tail like that I'd put money on sarcoptic mange. Even a really scraggly looking, shedding animal will still have a good amount of guard hair. There is something wrong with an animal with large bald patches of skin.

1 cc of 1% ivermectin would clear that right up if it is mange. Normally an subcutaneous (under skin on the neck) injection or it can be given orally. I have cured bad mange in dogs. ^^^^^^. This is the kindest thing you could do and keep the fox around. Put it in some drop baits where you are seeing the fox. Put out enough to treat the pups and female too!

Thanks for the responses. I might try the ivermectin thing, great idea. I was just concerned it might be somehow contaminating a population, Or rolling around in a field where kids play and that could create a problem for them.
Thanks!

Is this a trapping forum or a crazy cat lady forum?
Kill it if it bothers you that much. FCOL Maybe he's looking at it as a high-dollar investment. If he saves it from mange now he can catch it this winter and earn big bucks...$10.00-$12.00 at least... 
Eh...wot?
