Strange acting RACOON in Seagrove Beach

[hippiechick]

Yesterday late afternoon a large Raccoon came lumbering across my backyard that is on the Beach, where there is very little vegetation. The Racoon's left front paw was curled up. I have never seen a Raccoon in my yard before. I don't know for sure, but I think Raccoon's generally don't come out in open spaces like this one did. He went under my deck and I don't know where he went from there. Racoon's can carry Rabies, and I am not saying this one was rabid, but he was acting strange. Everyone with Cats and Dogs make sure your animals are up to date on their Rabies Vaccine.

Maybe you should contact animal control for a trap...especially if you're not sure if he's still under your house. There is a rabies alert from the health dept. for Grayton Beach because of a rabid fox.

Definitely call animal control - there has already been one rabid fox in the area.

CHOOT IT! Then call animal control.

I thought the rabies alert was for all of south Walton. I would call AC.
