Pet Talk: Protecting your pets Although most wild animals mind their business and don’t bother humans, some wild animals, such as coyotes, can wander into human environments and cause harm to pets. “It’s pretty amazing how much damage coyotes can do to pets, especially when you consider that coyotes are roughly the size of a domestic dog,” said Christine Rutter, a clinical assistant professor at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences. “Coyotes are very effective predators. Pets that come to our emergency room after a coyote attack often have severe injuries.” Because coyote bites have the potential to cause severe body and organ damage, Rutter recommends that every pet that is attacked by a coyote, bobcat, or an unknown animal be evaluated by a veterinarian as soon as possible. Owners should not attempt to address wounds at home. A bite from a wild animal also poses another threat—the spread of potential diseases, such as rabies. “We don’t often think of the coyote as a major vector of rabies, but it is possible,” Rutter said. “However, the most common carriers for rabies are raccoons, skunks, foxes, and bats. “Thankfully, most pets have had a recent rabies vaccination, which will protect them from this virus,” she said. “However, saliva in the pet’s wounds can expose people who are not commonly vaccinated for rabies to the virus. I always recommend that owners wear gloves when handling pets that have been attacked by a wild or potentially unvaccinated animal.” While humans might not be able to control the behavior of wild animals, pet owners can take steps toward protecting pets from potential attacks. Their back yard is where Jack and Deb Rife like to spend time enjoying beautiful flowers, countless “Coyotes and other wild animals thrive in urban and suburban birds, and a lush garden. environments due to the availability of food and shelter provided by people,” Rutter explained. “It seems that the only thing we can really • Computer Desks do is to limit access to these resources.
