Blue tongue disease in deer affects them similarly...they act stunned and don't seem to scare off...

chronic wasting disease is also a possibility...

Maybe they were eating Milkweed like those poor butterflies.

He put the dogs back in the house, but said the raccoon followed them to the door.

Were these raccoons saying, “Fox News wants to impeach me”?

That’s a sure sign of madness.

Since it’s Youngstown, they may be off springs of Jim Trafficant’s hair pieces. Some of those things looked liked dead raccoons.

It's raccoon distemper that is cyclical and occurs when their populations get out of control. It's nature's way of controlling the populatin.

I saw it back in the mid 90's here in S.E. Michigan. I was at at a golf course at one of the area metro parks and saw about 5 wandering aimlessly. My dad was the head park ranger at that time and whenever he saw one on the park road he would dispatch it and have the park maintenance pick it up.

broncobamacoonitis

Nasty stuff. If an affected animal approaches you call the police so they can come and shoot your dog.

Been there and done that. Not me, but I’ve seen a racoon behave like that. It showed up on a warm day around 2pm. Coons are never supposed to be out and about at that hour.

It headed to the hen house, pulled apart the chicken wire and entered the outside pen. It entered the coop itself and bit the head off of one of my best hens. That set off a major cacophony of hen squawking. I opened the coop door and shot him with a .22 before he could grab another hen.

I cleaned up his blood as best I could with bleach water as I figured his blood was rabid. What a mess.

Likely rabies or distemper, best to shoot raccoons acting strange during day.

About three years ago a very good friend of mine was working in a large office building in Maryland, just outside the DC Beltway.

At the end of the day he entered the connected parking garage and was unlocking his car when a rabid racoon came out from underneath and attacked him.

Well, it makes complete sense to me. After all, the Zombie Virus DID come out of the Umbrella Corporation Labs in/under Raccoon City.
