Rabid Raccoon

[@lindatimmons3675]

I don't think this raccoon has rabies. It's not acting like it's sickening in any way but it does look scared and frightened. It's not unusual to see raccoons out in the daylight hours. But I see no indication of possible rabies

[@SagebrushRambles]

Raccoons don't really show outward symptoms of rabies.

The blank stare . I think the beginning of rabies.

[@somerandomguy4240]

Guess you didn't read the description.

[@eriks8382]

Is that a fact doc?

[@locohobo1925]

I see nothing in this clip that would indicate rabies. I see a terrified animal feeling helpless and hopeless for many possible reasons. I know my input at this point is moot, but I’m hoping that he/she got help.

[@92clintonr]

@@locohobo1925 Roaming around in circles, falling down, aggressive behaviour. All of those combined are not indicative of just a terrified animal.

[@electric_lizzzard]

that's the point. if wild animal don't run away from you it's the first sign of rabies

Looks like a healthy raccoon to me.

He's just standing there.

MENACINGLY

[@stevensiferd7104]

He's not standing. He's laying on his back with one rear foot in the air, hanging on to the fence for balance. He's in the paralytic stage of the disease.

Those eyes. It's like he knows he's dying. He's beautiful. Such a pity.

[@ronniebauman28]

Those are healthy eye my friend. Search a video if actual rabies or distemper. This is just a confused healthh racoon. Maybe got into something in the trash that's made him sick but certainly no where near deaths door.

[@Reliable_Randy]

🥺

[@dainvadar]

Correct, not from rabies though 😂

[@ThomasComiskey-uz4ie]

​@@ronniebauman28I agree , unless the person videoed this kills it !

[@Frodojack]

Folks, read the description: "This poor little guy was displaying signs of rabies. Roaming in circles, falling down, aggressive behavior." The raccoon was momentarily calm when he took the video, but before that the raccoon had all the signs.

[@SagebrushRambles]

That's more the signs of distemper or poisoning than rabies. The only way to know if a raccoon has rabies is to test it's brain...that is done with a necropsy. One can't tell that even by behavior when they are alive as it could be either of the aforementioned illnesses.

[@Hothenrik]

WHAT description?? It just says "Rabid Raccoon". Nothing about circles and falling down. And it just stood there like it was petrified. But I do believe it very well could have been rabid.

[@TeenagedRat]

@@Hothenrikthe video description? Not the title

[@Jaggerbush]

​@@SagebrushRamblesthat's correct. The only way to be sure is to test the brain. Weird.

[@user-ut4zw6so6o]

@@SagebrushRamblesmaybe so, but wouldn’t risk being anywhere near a sick wild animal

[@terrancenorris9992]

Unless the raccoons saliva is analyzed and rabies confirmed it isn't known. I've raised raccoons for 28 years only one died from distemper. Generally, in my area, rabies is spread to raccoons by foxes and domestic animals,such as dogs and feral cats.

[@白キロ]

Please do not approach or come near any animals that behaves like that if you got infected by it you will have the symptoms of: fever, sore throat, stiff muscles, headache, tiredness, restlessness, nausea, and itching or tingling at the site of the bite. and it will last for 30-50 days

[@MunkeeFWRrng]

Once symptoms start, you die within 2 to 10 days. I think what you meant is that the average incubation period is 1-3 months but can happen as quickly as 4 days after exposure or as late as upwards of several years. After onset of symptoms rabies has a 99.9% mortality rate. All bites from animals of unknown vaccination status should be treated as a potential rabies case p, especially if the animal is not caught, as rabies is 100% preventable if you are administered the vaccine before symptoms appear.

[@BellsofNevermore]

No. The prodromal period is what lasts a month. People sometimes go as long as an entire year being infected before the actual acute phase starts.

[@michaeljones7183]

Like what? Sitting there minding it's own business. For people that don't know shit about animals need to stay away, I agree. When you know nothing, then say nothing.

[@michaelcox6689]

U forgot to mention death. Cause yeah if you don’t go get vaccinated right away u gonna be a goner

[@sp34277]

@@michaeljones7183 what are you talking about bro

[@michaeljones7183]

I see nothing rabid about this raccoon. Looks to me he's just chilling wondering what the hell that person in front of it was doing. No saliva dripping from it's mouth and no irrational behavior either. I have seen rabid animals. They don't sit calmly anywhere.

[@cryptosporidium01]

Doesn't seem rabid the way it is so chill with a human coming that near seems to indicate it might have another health condition though.

[@michaeljones7183]

I feed about 20 raccoons every night. Some will sit there and watch you as much as you watch them. Normally the younger ones are that curious. This one here in the video looks like a juvenile being curious about what that person is doing. But it is best though if you're not sure to just stay away. Better safe than sorry. I myself would walk right up on it,with gloves on of course, and try to see if it was ok or not. I have alot of experience with raccoons from raising and feeding them.

[@ZenakeMoonshine]

@@michaeljones7183 That's good to know but you should read the description, they said it was showing signs and then they told the signs it was displaying

[@mikecoulter6350]

@@cryptosporidium01 it could also be dumb rabies. They don't exhibit the traditional symptoms

[@Frodojack]

It says in the description: "This poor little guy was displaying signs of rabies. Roaming in circles, falling down, aggressive behavior." Barry just got 47 seconds when he was calm, but he saw all the typical signs of rabies before he caught this on camera.

[@ronniebauman28]

This raccoon is giving off zero symptoms of Rabies. One look in its eyes and you can tell this little guy is healthy. Ive seen far too many rabid coons & foxes. We had a spike in rabies in the 2000's out where I live. We were finding dead bodies(animals) all over the place for a solid summer.

[@ryan___ryan2711]

I dunno man, those eyes scream for help.

[@jackdaft258]

Why do you say it’s rabid? Because it’s out during the day? You know that’s not all that unusual right?

[@StopItStephanie]

It’s not just that. It’s not scared of the camera person.

[@deanbalouris330]

He acts more like he has distemper than rabies. This is very common in the raccoon population. They don’t act aggressively, but instead are out in daylight when they are nocturnal and they have this blank stare with little to no fear of people.

Geez, gimme a break. I had just posted the video before I heard back from our local wildlife rescuer. The raccoon was captured and taken care of humanely. I do not know the outcome.

[@cbstarrysky]

Glad you did what you. Could for it. I found your video while researching rabid raccoons and this one is NOT acting rabid at all. So the title is misleading. But it's a cute clip.

[@genrcflyer]

Looks more like distemper to me. A few years ago, at my farm, I had a raccoon come up to me, walk around me and through my legs, never aggressive but seemed to have neurotic fits, pain in the head I thought. I loaded up 1 cc of a 350K penicillin in pieces of hot dog which he ate as he was very hungry. The next morning he came up to me, walked around me, stood up as if wanting me to pick him up (which I would never do) and then took off in a straight line to the east. I never saw him again.
