“I’m not a professional, but it’s just a joy of mine,” she said. Griswold identified caring for wild animals as one of her hobbies. “But I put it in food because the poor guy needs some food.”
“You just put it in food, or you could just give it to him as a treat,” she said about the medication. She said the goal is for the lone coyote to get strong enough to hunt in the woods instead of subsisting on rodents and garbage in the neighborhoods of Niantic. “A lot of the vets didn’t want to do it, but an out-of-town vet did,” she said. Griswold said she is treating an adult male coyote for a severe case of mange using a prescription for a one-time medication provided by a veterinarian. She had used social media the night before the container showed up at her home to warn people that the coyotes were near Town Hall, which borders her house. She said she did not witness the container being dropped off or see the carcasses of the other coyotes. She alleged the family was killed by poison in a plastic container – the type used by supermarkets for prepared foods – that appeared next to her house where she had seen the coyotes every day for eight days. She said the strong smell of rotting flesh in a thick patch of brush nearby made her think there were more dead coyotes hidden in the prickers and poison ivy. 1 that her Maine coon cat led her to the dead pup, which was visible along the side of the road near Dodge Pond. Griswold this week said it was back on Aug.
Griswold said a mother and four pups had been a regular presence in her neighborhood for more than a week before she found the dead pup but she has not seen the five of them since.Ī copy of the laboratory report and documents related to the investigation were not available by press time.
The toxicology tests were requested as part of a DEEP investigation that started after the animal was discovered by resident Dawn Griswold, who said she believed there were more dead coyotes in the area. “We have no evidence to conclude that the coyote family was poisoned,” the agency said in a release. Rabies testing came back inconclusive for the same reason, according to the agency. But scientists there found them “unsuitable for diagnostic testing and interpretation” due to advanced decomposition. The agency in a statement said the remains of the young coyote were given to the University of Connecticut’s Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Laboratory in Storrs. Most of the rain should be over early in the evening, but we’ll have another overnight chance for some rain, mainly west of I-35.East Lyme― The state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection on Monday said there is no evidence of coyote poisoning in downtown Niantic after the carcass of a deceased pup was examined at a state laboratory. Rain coverage won’t be very widespread, but heavy downpours are possible within any afternoon storms so minor flooding could be possible. Rain chances today are near 40% today with the lowest odds coming west of I-35 and the highest odds near I-45, but everyone has the chance! Morning temperatures in the low-to-mid 70s will warm into the upper 80s and low 90s this afternoon with that scattered late-day rain popping up yet again. The latter part of Labor Day weekend is starting to trend drier, but it largely depends on where the rain sets up Friday and Saturday. Each day’s rain chances determine what will happen the next day. For Central Texas’ weather, the ridge of high pressure is keeping an upper-level trough parked overhead keeping rain chances around for the entirety of Labor Day weekend.
The ridge of high pressure is bringing states west of the Rockies some exceptional Labor Day weekend heat with highs over 100° expected across much of Nevada and California. High pressure is parked across the western third of the continental United States and thankfully not overhead.
