Corrections and broken links

A coyote right now

Email is not the way to deal with an animal. Keep your distance and call local animal control or AZGFD; see who to call and report a coyote encounter. If a person was bitten or scratched, the CDC says to wash the wound right away with soap and water and to get medical care urgently if you may have been exposed to rabies; call your doctor. If a pet had contact with a wild animal, call your vet and local animal control.

What we do not do

We cannot give advice on a specific animal. We do not sell products, run affiliate links or accept paid placements, so we cannot respond to requests for sponsored content.
