A coyote's health is a concern due to a facial abscess or growth that has persisted for over a year. Efforts to capture the animal have been underway for weeks, with community assistance. The coyote's overall condition appears stable, but a thorough examination is needed to determine its prognosis.

The animal has become familiar to residents, often approaching them for help. Its activity level and body condition are positive signs, but more information is needed to assess its health fully.

Further details about the coyote and the efforts to provide it with medical care are available from the Wildlife Care of Southern California.
