Coyote with cancer in mouth???

[PrairieGhost]

I shot a coyote last night that had tumors all along both sides of his mouth. All I coukd find on the internet was (Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma in a Coyote (Canis latrans). Has anyone ever seen anything like this?

Guess that yote should have quit the Copenhagen sooner. Never seen anything like that.

From the Game and Fish veterinarian.

Thanks for reaching out. Looks like oral papillomas. See once in a while in coyotes in ND. We don't have a need for it for additional testing. Thanks again.

Regardless what it is, it is still nasty.

Tough critters for sure, you did him a favor.

Looks like a good colored coyote.
