The tire biting raccoon and its deceased cohort from lower Rowels Run
was not rabid, according to a report received by DNR
conservation officer Tom Fox of Millstone. "This is good news," he
said. "These two animals may be suffering from distemper
or hepatitis." Calhoun vet Dan Cain processed the heads into
Charleston.
The raccoon was shot after it was spotted by bus driver Bill Collins.
He said the animal was agitated and falling down, besides
attacking the bus tires.
Red flags are still up regarding rabies in the area after a fox head
proved positive a short time ago.
