Blue tongue disease in deer affects them similarly...they act stunned and don't seem to scare off...
chronic wasting disease is also a possibility...

He put the dogs back in the house, but said the raccoon followed them to the door. "Where's my saprise?"

yes rabies first thought. Distemper is another possiblilty, common in raccoons and will cause similar symptoms. In both cases people and pets, livestock need to be kept away from the raccoons. We are allowed to dispatch them hre and have them tested for rabies.

“The Ohio Department of Natural Resources said it doesnt sound like rabies, but rather a disease called distemper.”
The animals were put down———why on earth wouldn’t they KNOW if it is rabies or not?

Since it’s Youngstown, they may be off springs of Jim Trafficant’s hair pieces. Some of those things looked liked dead raccoons.
To: BenLurkin
Rabies. Keep them away from your dogs and children.

It's raccoon distemper that is cyclical and occurs when their populations get out of control. It's nature's way of controlling the populatin.
I saw it back in the mid 90's here in S.E. Michigan. I was at at a golf course at one of the area metro parks and saw about 5 wandering aimlessly. My dad was the head park ranger at that time and whenever he saw one on the park road he would dispatch it and have the park maintenance pick it up.

Nasty stuff. If an affected animal approaches you call the police so they can come and shoot your dog.

Whatever it might be, treat it as if they are rabid. So long as it is one of the possibilities that is the correct preliminary diagnosis unless you want to get those shots.
