This coyote slept across the street from our house today for 90 minutes. There were cars going by and people walking their dogs. I don't think anyone noticed the coyote.

Now that is interesting because as many coyotes pass my greenbelt I’ve never seen one just hang out any longer than attacking prey. And the greenbelt is way more secluded than this area the coyote chose to snooze. 
Kinda looks like it got stung by a large be or hornet? Thanks for sharing.

Looks like the same one in previous video. He is still licking a wound (or problem area) on his right side. Strange to see him just laying around there.
me thinks he got problems... not normal.
Seems to be breathing quite hard.
Great video though.

Have to wonder with some many dog walkers going by if he's perceiving humans as not being a threat as a result. I soppose to a coyote a dog just looks like another smaller coyote species.

It has been 3 weeks or so since we have had coyotes in the neighborhood. During that time period a man had left his large male Husky to roam around in the park unleashed. Well guess what, during that time a coyote came wandering into the park and the chase was on with the Husky right on the tail of the coyote. They went North out of the park across a busy street and into the next tract of houses which behind it has a drainage ditch where we think the coyotes hang out. Anyways the owner of the Husky was in hot pursuit but could not keep up. Maybe 10 minutes later the Husky came wandering back looking for its owner safe and sound.
Does he seem tachypneic to anyone else? He's breathing at a rate over 60 bpm which seems excessive. Perhaps he's fighting a pneumonia. Some of his behaviour could be explained .. lethargy, tachypnea etc.
I agree though. it's a healthy looking coyote otherwise...with the exception of his breathing, and that patch of missing fur over it's L eye.
Can you leave a broad spectrum antibiotic or two strapped to a doggie treat for him? haha

I did get an impression that there might be something wrong with him. His behavior does seem strange. He does shake his head quite a bit in other video captures I have of him.

Lulu, could you put a nice fluffy pillow on that hill across the street for the coyote? That way we all could get a better nights rest.
"Honest Officer, I have NO idea how that portable dog kennel, water dish, snack bowl and fluffy pillow made it ALL the way across the street from my place. Soooo weird..."

As far as the dogs and Coyotes go at least in my tract the dogs seem to sense that the Coyotes do not belong. I know of two other instances where the dogs were on a leash and went nuts as a Coyote went by. I have also noted Crows dive bombing the Coyotes with the Coyote ducking its head.
Rabies? Yes. Lulu's county, Santa Clara, mandates that dogs get a rabies shot yearly.
That could be ear mites. They cause a dog to shake their head, whipping their ears back and forth.
Yes, and sometimes dogs with big, floppy ears will burst a blood vessel in an ear shaking them so hard; it swells up like an aneurysm.
