THE VILLAGE OF HILTON BEACH IS WARNING RESIDENTS TO BE AWARE OF RACOONS SUFFERING FROM DISTEMPER

 

A Racoon with distemper may approach people and seem fearless.  They generally act disoriented or lethargic but will become aggressive if cornered.  They may have seizures or show other obvious signs of illness.

This fatal virus can spread to pets through direct contact with body fluids or droppings from an infected animal.

 

Keep children and pets away from sick racoons

Do not feed wildlife
