A young coyote pup receiving treatment at the Clinic for the Rehabilitation of Wildlife after a suspected vehicle strike in Cape Coral has undergone successful surgery to repair a broken front leg.<\/p>\n

The pup was admitted to CROW on May 8 at approximately 7 weeks old with a broken leg and head trauma. Surgery was performed by board-certified veterinary surgeon Dr. Christopher Ferrell of BluePearl Pet Hospital in Fort Myers.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am always happy to help with the care of Florida wildlife to hopefully have them successfully returned to the wild,\u201d said Ferrell.<\/p>\n

The pup recovered well from the surgery and is continuing to heal in CROW\u2019s care.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re very encouraged by her progress following surgery,\u201d said Dr. Jessica Comolli, CROW\u2019s Research & Medical director. \u201cShe will need continued rest, rehabilitation, and close monitoring, but every decision we make is focused on giving her the best chance of returning to her natural habitat.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since 2023, 25 coyotes have been treated or brought to CROW. The nonprofit wildlife hospital has seen 2,521 patients so far in 2026.<\/p>\n

Additional updates on the pup\u2019s condition will be shared as they become available. Donations for the coyote\u2019s care can be made here: https:\/\/giving.gofundme.com\/campaign\/800278\/donate<\/a>.<\/p>\n
