Coyote With Growth on Face in Los Angeles by Animal Advocates

UPDATE 08/31/2026: Southern California Pitbull Rescue was able to capture the coyote. They gave it to Ventura Wildlife. Hopefully they instantly took it to the vet for an exam and xrays.

UPDATE: Ventura Wildlife just gave the coyote antibiotics. Did it go to the vet for a diagnosis? If this is bone cancer, it should be euthanized to prevent suffering since it can't be cured, kept or released.

ORIGINAL: Many people have sent us the photos and videos of a coyote in Studio City with a growth on its face. We are full. We referred them to California Wildlife and Ventura Wildlife. It looks like a bone tumor on its face. If it were only infection, it'd probably be in worse condition. 

Coyotes aren't easy to catch. They don't go into traps. We can't use humane snares. They aren't easy to lasso or net. You'd have to corral them into a garage or confined area in order to trap them when they can still walk. You generally can only pick them up when they can no longer walk anymore. 

People are feeding the coyote. It's been seen for about a year in this condition. If it is a bone tumor, it will most likely be euthanized. We've taken in wildlife with bone tumors on the face. If you grind off the bone tumor, it will just regrow. They can't be released back to the wild. They can't be kept in sanctuary because they aren't physically perfect. That is the California Department of Fish & Game requirement for keeping wildlife in sanctuary,  not ours.
