🦝⚠️ DISTEMPER ALERT – PLEASE PROTECT YOUR PETS! 🐾
We are seeing reports of an increase in raccoons testing positive for canine distemper in our area.
Canine distemper is a highly contagious and potentially fatal viral disease that can affect dogs, raccoons, skunks, foxes, and other wildlife.
🚨 Signs of distemper in raccoons may include:
• Stumbling, circling, or walking abnormally
• Tremors, twitching, or seizures
• Appearing confused, disoriented, or unusually friendly
• Loss of fear of humans
• Discharge from the eyes or nose
• Coughing, sneezing, or difficulty breathing
• Weakness or paralysis
⚠️ PLEASE DO NOT APPROACH OR HANDLE A RACCOON ACTING ABNORMALLY!
These symptoms can also resemble rabies, which is dangerous to people and pets. Keep children and pets away and contact local animal control or wildlife authorities.
💉 VACCINATION IS YOUR PET’S BEST PROTECTION!
The canine distemper vaccine is included in your dog’s routine DAPP (Distemper, Adenovirus, Parvovirus, Parainfluenza) vaccination.
Make sure your dogs are current on their vaccines, and avoid contact between pets and wildlife.
