Distemper Outbreak In Raccoons


Recommended Posts

From Dallas Animal Services -

More than 100 raccoons with distemper have been picked up in the following zip codes in Dallas -- 75218, 75231, 75238, 75240, 75243 & 75248

Evidently they have gotten into yards and had dust ups with dogs and outside cats. Dallas peeps be careful.

we had one in the park next to us a month or so ago. AC wouldn't get him, poor thing suffered for 3 days in the cold and snow (just lay there, couldn't walk or get up or anything, it was pitiful) before someone from the Park district got him.

Kim and Bruce - with Rick (Rick Roufus 6/30/16) and missing my sweet greyhound Angels Rainey (LG's Rainey 10/4/2000 - 3/8/2011), Anubis (RJ's Saint Nick 12/25/2001 - 9/12/12) and Zeke (Hey Who Whiz It 4/6/2009 - 7/20/2020) and Larry (PTL Laroach 2/24/2007 - 8/2/2020) -- and Chester (Lab) (8/31/1990 - 5/3/2005), Captain (Schipperke) (10/12/1992 - 6/13/2005) and Remy (GSP) (?/?/1998 - 1/6/2005) at the bridge

westchester county, ny has the highest incidents of rabies! we also have a rise in lepto and distemper...makes one think twice about skipping precautions. but that's an individual/personal decision- don't wanna go there! skunks are out, racs are out, turkeys are sitting in trees, coyotes are feeding at the garbage cans....and i live 12 miles north of nyc! yup, people be careful no matter where you live!
