Raccoon euthanized after rabies scare at Maine Petco.

A baby raccoon was euthanized in Maine after a woman brought it to a Petco for nail trimming services, prompting fears of rabies exposure. Raccoons are common carriers of the virus in Maine. The animal tested negative for rabies, but Maine's testing guidelines require euthanasia for testing. It is illegal to possess wildlife in Maine, and Petco does not trim raccoon nails. The Maine Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife is asking for information on the woman and reminding residents to never attempt handling, feeding, or moving a wild animal.
