Rabies and Raccoons<\/font><\/h1>\n

When a raccoon has rabies, there are several signs that give it away. It is very sad to see a wild animal with Rabies because it is an incurable and unkind disease. It is a very sad and frightening sight to see, but if you do see it, stay far away. Never attempt to touch, hold, or trap a wild raccoon. Not only are there state laws that prohibit it, you can put your life and health in grave danger. <\/p>\n

Here are possible signs of a rabid raccoon:<\/font><\/h2>\n

✔<\/strong> Awake During the Day<\/font>
\n✔<\/strong> Excessive Drooling<\/font>
\n✔<\/strong> Reduced Inhibitions with People<\/font>
\n✔<\/strong> Swaying, Shaking, or Convulsing<\/font>
\n✔<\/strong> Circling or Wobble-Like Walking<\/font>
\n✔<\/strong> Aggressive or Agitated Behavior<\/font>
\n✔<\/strong> Odd Behavior<\/font>
\n✔<\/strong> Partial Paralysis<\/font>
\n✔<\/strong> Self-Mutilation<\/font>
\n✔<\/strong> Disorientation<\/font><\/h3>\n

It is important to know that the above signs can also be indications of other communicable diseases; such as distemper or lead poisoning. Exclusive signs of rabies do not exist, making it difficult to diagnose from afar most of the time. <\/p>\n
