So let me start from the beginning.
I wake up and my dog is barking like crazy. I finally go downstairs and I was just about to let my dog out into the backyard when I look into my neighbor's backyard behind my backyard and... the fox was there. Let me just say this, there are foxes all over my neighborhood. There's even this mama fox and her 2 cubs, they're so cute! Anyways, back to the story. It wasn't unusual to see a fox in someone's backyard. But then my brother comes down a bit later and apparently his friend's grandfather got bitten. By the fox, that said was rabid. He was taken to the hospital and he is fine right now, but has to a get a lot of shots. Anyways, a few hours later my mom comes home from work. My brother goes to look outside because my dog was once again barking. And there was fox, RIGHT in my backyard. By now, a lot of people had been bitten by a fox. Everyone was pretty sure that fox was rabid. So we just watch that fox, at that time, we didn't really know anything about what was happening. A bit later, the fox is gone, but an animal control officer is there, scouting around our backyard. The Control group had gotten a lot of calls of a fox doing weird things and a lot of people getting bitten. So they had 3 cars driving around the neighborhood. Now my dear Sandy (dog) cannot go into our backyard, for there is fox trap out there. So now we are all just hanging around, kinda scared to go outside.

we've had rabid raccoons and coyotes on our property before. And we have a lot of pet animals around our yard, so we have to look out for things like that. It may not be an option for you, but I highly recommend shooting it or something. It could kill your animals, or other people if not careful. I've heard that rabid animals don't drink water, so if you see it afraid of water or something like that, its probably most likely rabid
