Doesnt always mean theyre rabid, specially in an area like texas. They could be finding a place to bed down for the day or we flushed out of somewhere by a dog. Around, theyd be rabid. too much woods for them to be looking for a shed to bed down for the day. Look up Hydrophodia zoonosis[/quote:3dcc9]
I dont quite understand your post????? First I didnt say it was rabid I said there is a good chance it is. Possums dont go out in the day, it is possible a dog or something did scare it out of its bed. They dont need woods either, they go to where the food is. Unkept trash and messy people are a critters favorite. I tried to look up your word but all I got was a definition of rabbies. If there was even the slightest chance a rabid animal was near my kids Id do something about it. We have plenty of woods here too, more than most states. We have plenty of critters too. For the most part these animals are pests. They are over-populated and need to be dealt with. The reason they have rabies is just that, they are over populated and its mother natures way of dealing with it.
