Could be some disease specific to foxes. Don't worry so much about the coyotes. The ones around here mostly get rabbits, mice and voles. They will come right up to the house tho--I've seen tracks in the snow on the front porch, and I KNOW that they're not from a dog. Just be aware of them in relation to your pets. I really doubt they'd bother the horses, even the foals. Our horses are very unconcerned about them. I've had foxes get into my poultry, but never coyotes. Robyn S
