"Another Suspected Rabid Coyote Discovered in Tucson's Westside"

A second suspected rabid coyote was found on Tucson's west side, prompting concerns among residents. The first coyote, spotted in the Tucson Estates area, was not recovered for rabies testing. The second coyote, found in the Starr Pass area, was euthanized for testing. The Arizona Game and Fish Department is awaiting the results, which could reveal if the disease is rabies or a contagious illness like distemper. Residents are advised to avoid approaching wildlife, especially if they exhibit abnormal behavior, as rabies is almost always fatal if not treated promptly.
