Studio City Coyote with Extremely Swollen Face Euthanized
Veterinarians found the coyote had a destroyed upper jaw and two pellets in her head, leaving no surgery or treatment to restore normal function.
- Studio City's resident coyote, Wendy, was euthanized Tuesday after Wildlife Care SoCal discovered a severe jaw infection and two pellets lodged in her head.
- Locals had monitored the about 3-year-old animal for over a year as she lived with a visible facial growth, frequently spotted wandering through the neighborhood.
- Diagnostic imaging revealed the infection had destroyed part of her upper jaw, and Wildlife Care determined she could not survive independently or return to the wild.
- Wildlife Care SoCal ultimately determined euthanasia was the most humane option, as the coyote would have required a soft-food diet for the rest of her life.
- While the person responsible for shooting Wendy remains unidentified, rescuers honored the coyote's "remarkable endurance" and thanked the community for their support.
