   @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).

     @sjw @triodug @graf makes for an awesome video though
     
     You have to consider it from the fox's POV. Obviously the human loves that phone, dumb human just lays it on the ground so he must go protect it. Dumb fuckin humans, man

     @graf @triodug @sjw someone posted a really good comic of a homeless foxgirl looking for a home.
     
     TLDR they are very smelly.
     
     I actually had the pleasure to work with red foxes in a wildlife rehab. I mean they were basically wild so they ran and hid all the time. I just cleaned up their shit.

     @Tepid_Tapir @sjw @triodug @graf This kind of empathy for critters is what they can intuit and adore

     it's why you probably have people asking "man why does she like you so much she normally hates everybody?"
