I need the stats for a normal fox, but in the SRD they are missing. Has a product those stats listed anywhere? If not, would the following stats suffice?

As small wild canines, foxes use the stats for normal dogs normally.

The statistics presented here describe a fairly small dog of about 20 to 50 pounds in weight. They also can be used for small wild canines such as coyotes, jackals, and African wild dogs.
Combat
Dogs generally hunt in packs, chasing and exhausting prey until they can drag it down.
Skills: Dogs have a +4 racial bonus on Jump checks. *Dogs have a +4 racial bonus on Survival checks when tracking by scent.
 





Stats for foxes can also be found in Dangerous Denizens: The Monsters of Tellene by Kenzer Co. It's worth noting that this is an official D&D 3.5E product. It has the D&D logo at the top.
 

My gnome sorcerer has a fox familiar, and we use the stats from Dragon #291. I recall that the article in that issue indicates that the fox which appears in Dragon only a few issues earlier is an error, and that #291 is the correct version.

I think the earlier, error version is the sorcerer-themed issue, and 291 is the gnome-themed issue.
 


Use the Cat stats instead then. Or the Weasel stats, minus the attach ability. Any of the three is virtually indistinguishable from the others.
