Below is video of a rabid fox. This kind of weirded me out.
Best you can do is put the poor thing down. Not that I have much sympathy for foxes, but even a fox shouldn't have to suffer like this.
When I was a kid, I had an encounter with a rabid dog in a park in Missouri. I was too young to know the dog had rabies until one of the grown-ups told me so. It was a Dalmatian if I remember correctly, and even though I didn't know it was rabid, I remember how creepy its expression seemed as it trotted over to me. The focused look in its eyes was almost human in intensity, and the dog ran right up and put its front paws on my chest. This seemed playful at first, but the dog wouldn't stop touching me. I don't clearly remember what happened next; I assume someone distracted the dog and led it away. I later heard that an authority had been called, and that he was going to put the dog down. In my memory, I see an adult man with a rifle, but for all I know, that's a fabrication of my brain.
