DANVILLE, CA — The town of Danville is advising residents to be on the lookout for a coyote that has recently been seen around town, suffering from a severe skin disease.

Non-profit organization Wildlife Emergency Services is assisting with the search for the ill animal, hoping to capture it and nurse it back to health. The coyote does not pose a threat to humans or cats or dogs. The
animal has been seen walking near cats and dogs without showing any interest in them, wildlife officials said.
