Seeing a coyote sick with mange is heartbreaking. There's no official way to help just yet, but solutions take time—and every sighting brings us closer to change.
⚠️ Please Do Not Treat Coyotes Yourself
Medications meant for pets can cause seizures or death in wildlife at the wrong dose. If two people unknowingly medicate the same coyote, it can be fatal.

Is the coyote mobile and showing signs of mange?
If the coyote can still move on its own and you're concerned it may have mange, please report it as a mange sighting. Your report helps us understand the scope of the problem.
Help us identify this individual — anything that might help us recognize this coyote again.

Thank You
Thank you for taking the time to report what you've seen. What you see and report are the first steps toward any meaningful change. Keep watching, keep reporting. Every sighting matters.
What you can do next
The most powerful thing you can do next? Tell a neighbor about rat poison.
Nearly all coyotes suffering from mange have been exposed to these poisons through the food chain. California bans consumer sales — but pest control companies still use them freely, and most neighbors don't know the connection to the sick coyotes they're seeing.
One caring conversation and a post to your neighborhood can save many lives.
