All Raccoons carry rabies in their feces (poo), but not all of them are actually infected with the disease and not all that have the disease are foaming at the mouth. So, if a Raccoon is acting strangely, back away slowly and call your local "Animal Hospital."
All raccoons do not carry rabies, this is complete myth. You can suspect rabies if a raccoon seems unafraid of humans, is stumbling around, maybe walking in circles, or even falling over having seizures. They may be foaming at the mouth, or out in the daytime, but not all animals with rabies foam at the mouth, and not every raccoon you see in the daylight has rabies. Your best bet is to call your local wildlife control or even your local police station, and report your sighting, they will know who to call for the problem. Never try to approach a wild animal. Do not call an animal hospital, they have nothing to do with rabid wildlife
The only way a raccoon can be definitively diagnosed with rabies is to live trap it and have the brain examined. Unfortunately, the animal must be killed to do this. Some raccoons can be infected with the rabies virus an raccoons are a prime carrier of teh disease in some areas. If a raccoon is encountered that is acting strangely or seems unafraid, best to leave it alone and advise your local animal control officials to have it trapped and tested.
The dog would need to see a vet urgently.
There are no distinguishing marks or colours.
No you can not tell by the rings on its tail, it is just simply there you can tell the age by the size!
There are wild mice, but most wild mice aren't rabid....
No a raccoon is not a canine. A raccoon is a procyonid.
When frightened any raccoon will bark.
The dog would need to see a vet urgently.
They are rabid if you see them in the daytime and they want you to pet them

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.
Yes if it's a female raccoon. I had the same problem but it was a male raccoon so they didn't pay me, I tried to tell them that the raccoon was a transgender and they hung up on me.
