In English, the female fox is called "vixen". I think that, similarly as with many other animals, "fox" is used both for the male, and for the generic animal (that is, not specifying whether it is a male or a female).
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
