It's been one really really bad day I tell ya and then I run into this nasty coon . Cant say I have ever seen a animal act like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4U9E2CEH7c&feature=youtube_gdata_player. My son goes i will shot it and I'll dig the hole but I'm not touching that cage . The animal was acting lazy sleepy like then just jumped up acting crazy . Not sure if I should hang some warning signs around the area . Should I just let the niegbor association know

In the counties I service in NY they wont test it unless someone had been in contact with it directly... So I would put it down and take it to one of the humane societys to have it cremated/incinerated. Same over here Nic,and then only for rabies, if it comes back negative, they do not look any further as to what it has. I suspect alot of the Raccoons we see, and Skunks that are sick also, have distemper, but have no proof. You just treat them all as if they have active rabies virus.

We haven't gotten the raccoon strain of rabies in MI, yet. But, there would be huge interest...would one be found. Would have been nice to have had it tested. Contact: David Marks, Wildlife Disease Biologist, USDA.
