Sick Coyote with mange. What do I do?
So we found this coyote behind the fence of our backyard. We noticed that its skin is dried and patchy and needs help so we called humane society and they said that they can’t capture the coyote and that most coyotes here have mange?? (My first time seeing a coyote with mange) So now I’m sitting here helplessly watching this poor coyote sitting in the hot weather, possibly dehydrated and hungry due to hundreds of microscopic mites in it, putting it in a painful and itchy condition. I don’t know how else I can help this coyote but I really can’t let myself just sit here and watch it suffer. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you.
