First of all, the raccoon would have to be infected with rabies. Not all raccoons are infected but they are a prime carrier of the disease in some areas. Secondly, they can only transmit the virus by biting or scratching a person. Do not place yourself in harm's way by being close enough for that to happen. If you are bitten or scratched, seek medical help immediately as you will need to undergo a series of rabies vaccinations. Rabies is almost 100% fatal if contracted so the sooner you begin the vaccinations the better.
When frightened any raccoon will bark.
If the raccoon was rabid then yes but if it wasnt then no.
No, only a deranged raccoon, such as a rabid animal, would attack for no reason. In general, raccoons try to avoid confrontations.
Both would lose. The raccoon would be killed by the badger but the badger would end up being infected with rabies and die a week or two later.
Raccoons may not show any symptoms if they are rabid. Many of them simply retire to their den and stay there. They usually do not become vicious as do many canines when infected. The only definitive method to diagnose rabies in raccoons is the remove its brain for examination by a train technician.
If a dog has been in a fight with a rabid raccoon, it is important to seek immediate veterinary attention for the dog. The dog may need to receive a rabies vaccination if it is not already vaccinated, and the veterinarian can assess the dog's injuries and provide appropriate treatment. Additionally, contact animal control or local health authorities to report the incident and get guidance on managing the situation.
