I have to ask, does a fox get that large? The head and torso looked to be three feet long.
OUCH ! That's a lot of pain.
I am not convinced this red fox has mange. I had one that was down to a Mohawk on the back of his neck, but that is extreme. Foxes do live in, of all things!, foxholes. If they are anything like my dog, rolling in mud is a bonus so a bit of brown on a fuzzy photo isn't conclusive.
Mange is a parasite like scabies and your dog can get it. Unless you have a phu phu dog, he will likely give it wide berth. Depending on where you live, you may have neighbors that feed it. It will become less scared of humans if that is the case. Encourage you kids not to let it approach. If DNR will do anything about it, the will catch it and kill it. Meanwhile it is eating mice and surplus squirrels.
A fox with mange, sadly common.
