Don't Make this Mistake with Your Pet Raccoon!

  • Its important to know the risks to both you and your raccoon. This video gives some information on some of the common diseases raccoons transmit and how to reduce the chances of getting them.
    1) Rabies: Since there hasn't been enough testing done on rabies vaccines for raccoons the shots aren't trusted. They are still important to get regardless. A potential for protection is better than no protection.
    2) Raccoon Round Worm: When you first get your raccoon its important to get checked at the vet. Once they are clear of the problem they won't readily be reinfected. This can cause a lot of health problems for humans so its important to get them checked out as soon as possible.
    3) Distemper: When you go to the vet make sure to get the ferret vaccine. Dog distemper vaccine can be ineffective, and potentially cause distemper in your raccoon.
    This is the information I have gleaned from the vet, and other people. Do your own research, and ask your own veterinarian!

    these are the things raccoons can give you.
    1: rabies.
    2: the sudden urge to steal batteries and buy trees.

    IMO, raccoons being a prime vector for rabies is EXACTLY why they should be researching raccoon treatments, as well as treatments for all the other prime vectors.
    Rabies is a biological menace, and what better way to put it down than to protect and neutralize the vectors. Unhooking the links in it's chain...

    • @nytrodioxide

      USDA/APHIS do vaccinate wild raccoons both by hand (trapped) by injection, hand scatter, and airdrop RABORAL V-RG bait for raccoons and other critters to eat. On the east coast they have a massive problem with rabies. Where I live in Arizona we had a Lynx come down with it and ran into a bar. Thankfully no one was bit. www.raboral.com/about-rabies/raboral-v-rg

So what do you mean by prepared? I don't know if I am or not!

He has destroyed 3 chargers, cut my arms, neck and back ( on accident). I thought it was cute when he was a baby and he would jump from ... anywhere... to get on my back and perch on my neck. He was 2 lbs.... how cute, RIGHT? Well now he is a beautiful, type A full grown male cat... fully clawed.😣. My fault, not his. So I feel your pain when Tito scratches you. Love that you are so good to Tito. You rock! Oh and I have watched 4 generations of raccoons grow up wild. They are pretty huge! Beautiful, but huge.

      3BricksHigher yeah I should do that! I did it with goldfish once, but I was told they were unhealthy for him.

      Tito The Raccoon yeah, goldfish have a lot of fat and little nutritional value. The conditions they’re raised in are poor as well so that often get sick, though it usually only affects pet fish they are fed to.

      That, or crayfish. Would be entertaining, and he would have a challenge chasing and catching

      Its just to let them have fun chasing them ..not to be their dinner. Gives them something new to do.

    Another mistake you dont wanna make is snapping ur fingers with the infinity stones and suddenly the raccoon fades into dust.

    Very Important and Informative ...Owning a raccoon has to be done very mindfully, your videos show this .. Tito is one Lucky Raccoon!!
