Rabid Raccoons in Twin Tiers
A raccoon found about three miles north of Youngsville Thursday has tested positive for rabies.
Officials say the raccoon attacked a dog in the backyard of a home during daylight hours. The family's second dog attacked the raccoon.
Rabies vaccinations for both dogs were not current; they will be quarantined at the home for 180 days. Officials believe there was no human exposure.
A kitten and two baby raccoons have tested positive for rabies in Chautauqua County. The tri-colored female kitten was about six weeks old and was wandering around Jamestown near the Ring School.
Earlier this week, two baby raccoons found near Arkwright tested positive for the disease.
Health department officials are reminding people not to approach wild animals or domestic animals they don't know.
