Rabies Alert After Rabid Raccoon Found in Granby

A raccoon found acting sick on Fawn Drive in Granby, CT was euthanized and later tested positive for rabies. Police urge residents to avoid wildlife that appears injured or abnormal and to report such wildlife to the Granby Police Department at 860-844-5335. Seeing a raccoon during the day isn’t necessarily a sign of illness, but residents should ensure pets are up to date on rabies vaccinations and exercise caution as warmer weather brings more wildlife activity; nearby Southwick has also seen rabies cases in raccoons this winter.
