((MyFoxDetroit.com Staff)) - Do you know what this is? Joel from Bloomfield Township says this animal started showing up in his backyard yesterday.
He took a few photos and sent them to us to help identify the animal. Please scroll through them. We've sent them off to Veterinarian but until we hear back, what's your call?
Add your ideas in the comment box below. We'll post the answers from the experts once we get them. See if you're right.
UPDATE: Some quick research has our staff thinking it's a mangy fox or a coyote. Still, what do you think?

Looks like it has sarcoptic mange (canine scabies).

I truly hope it's not true, that thing they say about dogs and their owners looking ..... NAW! Couldn't be.

whether fox or coyote - it's an animal in distress asking for human help.
too bad it couldn't be caught and giving treatment - but in the meantime - leave it some food and water - It's very doubtful it can catch it's own food at the point - which is why he's coming to humans for help.
Animals do that.
I had a raccoon that came for help after having is tail ripped off probably by a car.
His back right hindquarters were also badly injured. I put ot food and water for him for over a month and he recovered enough to get along on his own.
A deer came for help - after having been shot in the foreleg - she had twin fawns with her. I put out deer pellets for over a month until I could see she was much better.
I have ‘house mouse’ that came crawling up on my son in bed one cold night - just a baby - stood up on his chest and just sat there shivering. We made him a ‘house’ in a glass fish aquarium - and he ‘lives’ next to my computer. He's 5 yrs old now - his favorite foods are dandelions, clover and salted pumpkin seeds.
I hope someone does the right thing for this poor animal. they only ask for help when in dire straights. He doesn't appear to be rabid - but maybe a debilitating and painful case of mange?

He’s been gone for day’s.Must have hitched a ride up Telegraph Rd. I will get a collar, however I don’t think it’s gonna help.

I have to admit, if he had not lost his Ray Bans, you would not be to far off.

No, that’s a yearling wallaby. Or maybe not. Could be a deformed wolverine.

Looks like a grungy and mangy fox or a very young and hungry coyote.

It’s an ordinary fox with severe mange.

Very possible! Ann Arbor is only a short distance to the West.
