@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).
