Kickass, the doorstop dog, reports that the keeper’s son Rick, visiting from his Denver suburb home, casually tells of his success in treating a local coyote family for mange. After observing the nearly hairless mother, Rick sent away for some sulfodene, the standard mange treatment drug, inserted it into meat balls and put it where it was ingested by the mother coyote; and he followed this up by doing the same when he saw that a half dozen pups at a nearby den were also infected.
“They’re all growing their hair back,” Rick reported
