I was wondering, because i was turning one loose the other night from a trap and as I was putting a stick through the door, the coon jumped up and bit the tip of my ring finger.

cut the finger off and send it to the state lab to be tested for rabies!!





NOOO just kidding!!!LOL wash ti out real good and use some antibiotic ointment on it and your should be fine.

puttin a collar on a coon? i figured they'd end up hangin themselves on sumthin.

You never heard of putting a collar on a coon.

Yea...i guess i hadn't either but i got some northerner friends that do it. helps when setting drags

Last night I was helping a friend get some coon out of his buildings. We ended up catching a sow and 4 kittens. In the process one of the kits bit me on the nipple while I was carrying it over to a cage. Those kits were already starting to get some size to them. Hurt like hell. Brought the whole family to a different timber about 10 miles from there and turned them loose.

on the nipple, now thats funny..... I guess those kittens were still on the tit.......

Mine seems to be healing up fine, I've been trying to keep it clean. I've got 2 small bite marks one on each side of my ring finger nail. I've always wondered how strong their bite was, now I know LOL

Yep, been bit once!

had one take a chunk outta a brand new frogleg boot and still left teeth marks in my foot. My own fault though, I was trying to help a young pup that caught it on the ground.

I actually try to keep current on my rabies vacs just in case something like this happens beats having to go through the treatment.

How much do they cost?

Most insurances will not cover the rabies vaccine without an exposure. We recently paid for a researcher working with bats to get her vaccine and it run over $600.00.
