I always release the animals when they are able to survive on their own. They hang around for handouts for a while and then leave.

Be VERY careful with raccoons. They have a parasite called raccooon roundworm (baylisascaris procyonis) which is shed in their feces and is fatal to humans.

Yes. I feed the deer in the winter, the ducks, geese, and the birds all year-have picked a few up when they have hit the window and turned them right side up....and now I have a very small mangy (sp?) coyote hanging around. Do you think it is OK to give him dog food? Will anything make his fur grow back?

RE: Here are some Crows I raised and set free

You can give him dog food but they are usually afraid of the bowl so just put it on the ground. Canned is better as the odor will tempt him to eat. Also the water content is good for hydration. He's probably mangy because he may really have mange, or is just shedding his coat.

You can feed them cat food too. It has more protein than dog food.

Just a side note, folks please be careful. Wild animals are wild and they carry all sorts of nasty parasites and diseases that can be fatal to humans and other pets. It's good to help the wild creatures that need it but please just be careful not to expose youself to anything.

When in doubt call a licensed wildlife rehabilitator. They're trained to safely care for the animal, and the animal has the best chance of survival with them too.
