North Sarasota Raccoon Removal [News Blog] Hillsborough County Woman attacked by Raccoon

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

TAMPA (FOX 13) – A Hillsborough County woman has a mangled right leg — and three weeks’ worth of rabies shots ahead of her — after being mauled by a raccoon.

Gabrielle Luig says she had to punch the raccoon to get it to stop biting her, and then it even chased her back to the house.   She’s telling her story as a warning to her neighbors in Citrus Park because the raccoon is still out there.

Luig says the county told her it can’t go looking for the raccoon because it would be impossible to single it out from other raccoons. But she says they should at least search her neighborhood because this animal is clearly rabid and attacked her for no reason.

Bee Ridge Raccoon Removal [News Blog] How distemper spreads and what your pet needs to be protected

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

BOARDMAN, Ohio (WKBN) – The behavior of some raccoons in the area have people concerned about their own pets. You’ve seen the photos circulating the national and international news — raccoons on their hind legs, teeth bared.

Earlier this week, the strange raccoons tested positive for a disease called distemper.

Humans and cats can’t get it, but your dog might be at risk. It can spread through the air and by direct or indirect contact with an infected animal.

Dogs join a list of several animals that can be infected, including foxes, wolves, skunks, coyotes and yes — raccoons.

Symptoms include high fever, discharge from the nose and eyes, loss of appetite and sluggishness. When it gets bad enough, your dog could suffer from diarrhea and vomiting. At that point, your pet is very sick.

YOUNGSTOWN, OH (WKBN) – Youngstown police were busy this weekend fighting crime — and raccoons. Several scared homeowners called, saying the animals were in their yards, acting strangely. Police said it didn’t seem like rabies was the cause.

In the past couple of weeks, Youngstown police have responded to over a dozen of these raccoon calls — all of them with reports of the same strange, zombie-like behavior. The majority of the calls happened in the daytime, too, even though raccoons are nocturnal. Read more Bradenton Raccoon Removal [News Blog] Reports of Zombie like Raccoons puzzle Police in Ohio ›
