coyote skull

 
Skull of Coyote, lateral view
There are two holes in this skull, 8-10mm diameter, partially infilled by bone regrowth, one in the eye socket and one above the carnassial tooth. They may have been caused by shotgun pellets, or may be evidence of some kind of infection or cancer. Any ideas ?
 
Condylobasal length - 183mm
