Mine is due for booster shots next month.

He caught a bat back in the spring and I was worried about rabies but the vet said the shots were considered effective for 5 years but actually sufficient for about 7 years.

More than just rabies.

I don’t consider them ‘cute’ anymore. I consider them dangerous, and their ‘droppings’ are disease laden.

West coast studies showed that 95% of road kill coons were disease infected.

When my dogs tangled with the rabid coon family, they all had to get boosters that very day.

I was not so lucky.

Full course of shots.

Really sucked.
