I hope I posted this in the proper place .... was not sure where to post my questions......
I received a phone call at midnight that my relatives had put Benny outside to potty and he got into a fight with a raccoon who somehow managed to be in the fenced in area.
Needless to say it was pitch black and after all the noise subsided Benny would not respond. Being the area is on so many acres and the fenced in part is huge ... and Benny would not respond ... they called the sheriff.
Needless to say Benny won. The sheriff came and found Benny and took the deceased raccoon with them.
I did not get any more details yet other than Benny was bitten a few times and has some puncture wounds. They are taking him to the vets this morning.
He is up to date on shots except his rabies is "just" now due ........
Is he still protected if the raccoon was ill? How about the humans being around Benny? I have never encountered a dog killing a raccoon before. :/
