/r/Raccoons
Was jumping around doing these circles and flipping out. Don’t know how to better describe it.
I’m pretty sure this is a raccoon I’ve been feeding fairly regularly and I haven’t seen him for a week or so. He showed up last night with this horrible wound and he looked hungry and defeated. I wish I could help him—anybody have an idea of what may have happened? Does it look like he got in a horrible fight, or did he escape a trap, or what? I see a lot of white and I think that could be bone 😩
So we’ve had a raccoon living under our trailer for awhile now, took us some time to realize it, we have a company trying to trap and remove it/them currently. I initially was the most worried about rabies, but was reading on roundworm since I’ve been starting to notice some odor and now I’m completely terrified. As I said, they’re under our trailer, you can hear bumping between the floors and sometime hear them climbing over or under our air vents, which is where my fear is lying. From what info I can find the most common way to get infected is through ingesting, but I’ve seen inhalation from airborne particles can also happen. If their latrine is near any sections of the vents could we be sending those particles into the air in our home while running our AC? We have a 10 month old son, so keeping the house a comfortable temperature is necessary, but now I’m so worried about his health. Any advice?
