Hope they got the shots. Sound rabid.
Agreed. Major carrier of rabies around here.
Although we haven't had the problems with packs of coons that some other areas have.
Coons can spread a lot of diseases:
Rabies
Raccoon roundworm
Salmonella
Leptospirosis
This last one is spread by droppings and urine. Dead coons picked up off the road along the coast in Calif tested 95% positive for this disease.
Not necessarily.
We had a similar happening here.
It was early morning and my granddaughter’s dad had just arrived to take her to sigh up for college.
As she started out the door she was rushed by a huge raccoon!
It even kept trying to get through the closed storm door and we could see several more running around behind her.
It scared her pretty badly and she wasn’t about to try getting out that door and daddy was honking, unaware of what was going on.
I finally persuaded her that I would keep them “interested” and to go out the back door.
Needless to say, but the next night I put out some “bait” and the momma and a couple of the near-growed young’uns won’t be doing any more threatening.
The rest seemed to have got it and found somewhere else to hang out..
