     @sjw May be surprised how often people take in a stray puppy to find out it's a coyote. Pic related came in to a vet office for a visit, no idea their dog was a coyote.
     Fun fact: the US does not recognize rabies vaccines being effective in coyotes or wolves. I recommend rabies vaccine anyway, but this means that if the dog bites someone even if UTD on rabies, it may have to be quarantined or tested.

     @Tepid_Tapir @sjw also what did you do in this situation? Did you have to turn them away?

     @triodug @sjw This was not my photo. But we have had people bring in coyotes or suspect coyotes before. In the case of the photo the DVM did turn them away.
     
     While licensed vets are absolutely allowed to work on wild animals, many do not feel comfortable doing so (not specialized, might miss signs of illness, may not be rabies vaccinated, also a whole different range of behaviors to look out for). I've only met one small animal vet who would work with wild animals so far, and he's an outlier as he's fuckin nuts and up for anything.
     
     If anyone ever does plan on getting a wild animal as a pet (including those 'domestic' foxes) you gotta find a vet that will handle that wild animal first, as they are notoriously difficult to find. Most GP vets won't touch them. Most wildlife vets work for the government or non profits and don't have a practice to see clients (making exams and such illegal).

     @triodug @Tepid_Tapir The only reason to turn them away is if you aren't comfortable handling said animal. Understandable for something like a tiger.
     
     Since she said she'd recommend rabies I assume she took them in. Laws vary.
     
     My state requires a permit. Even if I don't have a permit that doesn't really matter all that much when visiting a vet. The vet also isn't really under any obligation to report me either.
     
     This is why small towns are great. Everyone knows Jimbo has a pet coyote that he raised from a pup because he killed his mother when she got in his chicken coop. But if you didn't know any better you'd think he was just a dog and they don't never cause no problems and nobody minds so there's no reason to make a fuss about it.

     @graf @triodug @sjw Is this from trailer park boys? I don't think i remember this episode. But I feel like I remember the plot. Buying drugs illegally from a person fronting a vet office?

     @graf @triodug @sjw someone posted a really good comic of a homeless foxgirl looking for a home.
     
     TLDR they are very smelly.
     
     I actually had the pleasure to work with red foxes in a wildlife rehab. I mean they were basically wild so they ran and hid all the time. I just cleaned up their shit.
